The article is currently unsourced and I have been unable to find any coverage independent reliable sources. The general notability guideline states that a topic meets the criteria for a stand alone article if it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", the specific guideline for companies and organisations restates this. In this case I can find no reliable, independent coverage let alone significant coverage and per Verifiability "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.". What Wikipedia is not states that "Wikipedia articles should not exist only to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers, but should also describe the site in an encyclopaedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance" - without independent sourcing it will not be possible to create such an encyclopaedia article without original research. The company may publish books by notable authors or based on notable comics but per Notability (organizations and companies) the notability of companies cannot be inherited and "An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it. If the organization itself did not receive notice, then the organization is not notable.". Guest9999 (talk) 19:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I looked up Sofawolf on Google and found only publisher-related websites. Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, mostly because the article hasn't gone beyond a stub in half a year. This interview of the owners by Anthro might be useful if someone wants to try actually building it. Don't know if Anthro would count as a reliable source for WP purposes, but they don't interview just anyone (other examples include Samuel Conway, and Bill Hollbrook of Kevin and Kell). If nothing else, it's another primary source. :-) GreenReaper (talk) 05:01, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
