Tender Buttons Press

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Tender Buttons Press is not a notable and organization and it does not pass WP:GNG, WP:NCORP or WP:NONPROFIT. The non-profit is entirely self published. The titles on the web site are "available for online purchase directly from the website. And for publishing the web site uses a self publishing book publisher called Small Press Distribution. In addition one source in the article attempts to confer notability: Encyclopedia of the New York School Poets but is a self published book. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing notable. This company is not to be confused with Tender Buttons (book) by Gertrude Stein Lightburst (talk) 04:36, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep As a publisher it is very prestigious. Can't say much more than that.  scope_creep Talk  11:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The article reads Tender Buttons began by printing each text in small editions of 500 to 1000. Books would be either sold for production costs or given away.  Printing out a few copies of something on your own to sell for a few cents or nothing at all, doesn't seem like its too notable.   D r e a m Focus  18:54, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Lee Ann Brown. Subject does not have sufficient coverage to meet GNG and/or NCORP, and its limited scope means it does not meet the first of the two required criteria for nonprofits. So it probably doesn't merit a standalone article. But founder Lee Ann Brown is notable, and her article was recently kept at AfD. Readers searching for Tender Buttons Press should be redirected to her article, where the press is discussed. And since some of the content in this article is sourced, we should keep the history to preserve appropriate content that could be added to the Lee Ann Brown article.

 * Redirect to Lee Ann Brown per Indignant Flamingo. As stated, not enough has been written about this press to confer general notability- I found this this and this However, its prestige can be seen in the notable poets it has published, such as Anne Waldman and Dodie Bellamy. This is more than just a do-it-yourself venture, so its info is worth keeping and redirecting. ABF992 (talk) 16:46, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
