I'm nominating this for deletion because I just can't see where this publisher is notable enough to pass WP:NCORP. It exists and it sells things, but I just can't see where it's notable enough for an entry - a search brings up little.

There's also a likely COI here and while I hate to WP:BITE the newbies, I just can't see where this publisher would pass notability guidelines - most publishers do not. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  09:52, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, while the article asserts that it's published notable plays, these awards do not seem to have been given to the publisher itself per se and notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by them publishing things by notable persons, although it does make it more likely.

 * Actually, I believe the claim was that they have published plays by notable playwrights, but not notable plays by those playwrights. --Bejnar (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now at best and draft & userfy later if needed as the best my searches found were only trivial passing mentions, nothing better. SwisterTwister   talk  06:33, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. There doesn't seem to be much cataloged by Google.  There's a trivial mention in a book, and a false positive in an archived newspaper, but that's all I saw.  Maybe this could be redirected to the theater, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned in that article. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:35, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
