Scholastic Reference

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No refs on the page, very few offwiki refs that I can find. Clearly the books exist, but I don't see RS that show the meet the GNG. Nor what that would look like for a series of reference books. JMWt (talk) 13:43, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Merge/redirect to Scholastic Corporation per Deletion policy. Here are sources I found about the subject:  The article notes: "Every September, Scholastic unveils a stack of affordable reference books. This season offers an impressive bounty. ... Here are some of our other favorite new releases from Scholastic Reference:"  The article notes: "Telling history through banded timelines is Scholastic Reference's innovative way to show readers how developments in science, arts, politics and social developments occurred simultaneously during the 1800s."  The article notes: ""The Scholastic Encyclopedia of Sports in the United States" by Kevin Osborn; "The Scholastic Encyclopedia of the United States" by Judy Bock and Rachel Kranz; "The Scholastic Encyclopedia of the Presidents and Their Times" by David Rubel (all from Scholastic Reference, ages 9 and up, $17.95 each). These are great resources for the classroom or home. The sports volume traces the history of organized athletics from the Civil War era to the mega-business that it is today. There are also profiles of more than 100 famous athletes, from Jesse Owens to Michael Jordan. And there are entries on interesting topics such as the Special Olympics, the women's baseball league and baseball's Negro Leagues. The volume on the United States provides an overview on each of our 50 states as well as "fascinating facts" about each."  Cunard (talk) 05:39, 13 March 2023 (UTC) 
 * Redirect, probably without the need to merge anything. There's clearly not enough coverage to justify an article; a bullet point under Scholastic Corporation would be reasonable though. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 14:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
