Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Puppywolf

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus, with a very distinct possibility of a merge to Keir Thomas. The discussion is leaning toward deletion, but the keep/possibly merge and merge !votes lead this to being closed as no consensus with a distinct merge possibility. A merge discussion can continue on an article talk page. (Non-administrator closure.) Northamerica1000^(talk) 05:27, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The reference listed is a primary source and is a redlink. I wasn't able to find much more.LM2000 (talk) 18:03, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This apparently survived speedy deletion in 2011 because an IP posted some sources on the talk page. The ones that still work look like PR blurbs.LM2000 (talk) 02:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Signigicant poetry publisher in Manchester. And if it weren't kept it should be Merged to its creator or to the article on its most notable publication. Deletion does not make sense. Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Lacks substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Coverage is restricted to brief announcements and directory entries (e.g. Publishing North West). Founder/owner Keir Thomas isn't obviously notable either so a merge may be pointless. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:41, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Keir Thomas. I did some research on him, and he is probably notable as an author, since his books have reviews in the specialist press. But there's nothing substantial about his poetry press (which his article already mentions briefly). I stand by my earlier statement that this publishing company isn't notable, though there may be brief references to confirm some books it produced, etc. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note. I AFD'd Keir Thomas too and it looks like he will be deleted. Comment there if you think he should stay. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:25, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

STRONG DELETE None of the press' works would meet WP:BKCRIT and as a company does not meet the guidelines of WP:CORP, ALSO...this article was started by User:Keir, the owner of Puppywolf, himself who is responsible for 100% of its preAFD content. Delete as a non-notable subject compromised by being the product of conflict of interest and self-promotion vanity editing.--ColonelHenry (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
