Sandhills Publishing Company
Page is mostly cut-and-paste from their website; the bits that aren't (mainly at beginning) aren't comprehensible enough to be edited into something useful. I would have cut the plagiarised/copied stuff and made this a stub. However, I'm not convinced that there's enough of note about this publisher to warrant inclusion as a stub.

Footnote: User:211.245.243.189 (contributor) and User:Mirmo! (originator) are almost certainly the same person. Fourohfour 15:05, 14 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. I carried out a major cleanup involving removing all of the copyvio text and the "See also" section which consisted entirely of redlinks. I also dispute the assertion that "Sandhills Publishing Company is the most visited website on the Internet today". I don't have enough interest to verify notability, so no opinion on the AfD. --GraemeL (talk) 17:36, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, company seems notable enough but GraemeL was too kind in his editing and I used a somewhat larger axe. -- DS1953 05:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep; this is a very well-known publishing company with major titles; I think the stub can be expanded back into a comprehensive article without resorting to copyvio. I'll put it on my list to look in on. MCB 22:10, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

211.245.243.189 has removed the AfD tags; I have reinstated them. It's hard to tell if this user is malicious, egotistical, incompetent, or just doesn't understand English very well, as they've never responded via talk pages. Fourohfour 10:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't believe Mirmo has a malicious intent, I think he keeps removing tags because he doesn't properly understand English. --ApolloBoy 04:29, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think Mirmo/211.245.243.189 is outright malicious either. However, I believe that he/she/it knows enough English to at least respond. If she is confident enough to make contributions to Wikipedia, she knows enough to respond. I don't expect perfect English. I DO expect them to try. Fourohfour 11:17, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
