Open to be proven wrong on this one. There are certainly sources available, but basically all of them as far as I can tell are passing mentions or routine announcements. I'm just not really seeing a good argument for WP:CORPDEPTH. Best I'm seeing is something like this, which is really no better than a press release, and this, which ain't bad, but it seems like it was copy/pasted from somewhere else given the egregious formatting errors. Although I couldn't tell you from where. GMG ^talk 12:46, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Satisfies GNG due to coverage in GNews, GBooks etc. Largest book wholesaler in the United Kingdom, therefore exceptionally notable. Seems to have published books that have received quite a lot of citations, judging from GScholar. James500 (talk) 06:39, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to be nit picky, but...what coverage? What sources are there with any depth to write an article with? GMG ^talk 10:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As this is a book wholesaler, I took a quick look on Publisher's Weekly and found a few articles on it. I also found a bunch of articles on the UK's Bookseller site. I also learned that they launched other products/companies such as the hive.co.uk and ebook products such as Blio. Auldhouse (talk) 16:42, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Can someone link to one of these sources? I'm happy to withdraw, but I really didn't find jack in like 20 minutes. Maybe I'm just bad at searching. GMG^talk 23:56, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Here is one of several in first page of Google news search link. Browse also the ones there about 100 new jobs in Eastbourne, and about the Gardners Hive, say. --Doncram (talk) 19:24, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
