The New Press (imprint)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Apparently non-notable (though it's almost impossible to tell with such a commonplace name). Appears to fail WP:CORP. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Kmccook responds: The New Press was founded in 1992. It has produced major works. See this year's books here: https://www.thenewpress.com/books/current-season The editorial board is respected and made up of many notable writers. Its books have won awards such as: It is not a vanity press. It is an activist press that publishes important books on critical issues such as Mass Incarceration on Trial by Jonathan Simon, 2014.

 * Keep. No, it's not almost impossible to tell, it's just harder to tell than it is for a publisher called "Hamish Hamilton" or "Phaidon" or whatever. For example, googling "the new press" -leveson -greenslade site:theguardian.com brings a review of a notable book published by NP, an obituary of its founder, and more. The obituary prompts me to add "Schiffrin" to the mix; unsurprisingly, googling "the new press" schiffrin site:nytimes.com brings a promising selection of sources. &para; Incidentally, after this AfD has run its course and the article given a new lease of life, it should be moved to "The New Press". -- Hoary (talk) 00:55, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Publisher of much renown, widely regarded for innovation in its field, has published numerous notable authors and notable award winning works. Widely referenced from a good number of broadsheet newspapers. There is nothing not to like here. -Lopifalko (talk)


 * Keep Agree with above. -- Green  C  04:34, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep per Kmccook, Hoary & Lopifalko. Notable publisher of numerous notable authors & works. Also agree w/ Hoary - should be renamed The New Press, as no disambiguation in the title is necessary.--JayJasper (talk) 17:53, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
