A WP:BEFORE didn't reveal much. Besides download links, I found a mention in a magazine, but I couldn't access it. Nothing in news. Isabelle 🔔 15:46, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I was also unable to locate any substantial sources that discuss this book series. Without other indications of notability such as literary awards or a historically significant author, this appears to fail WP:NBOOK and WP:GNG. DanCherek (talk) 16:44, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pro: Nessy reflects some large-ish interest or usefulness
  • Nessy at Youtube has 98 K subs, 25 M views since 2006
For your further consideration:
However, these articles are all related, suffer notability tagging, maybe MERGE, and why are NONE Category:Dyslexia
  • Dyslexia Centre proffers Nessy and related, "an independent teaching and assessment centre"
  • in addition to written stories, animated videos, with scattered 2 minute Bill Bailey promotion (Dailymotion, Vimeo, YouTube)
Con: Size should not matter, but there it is
  • Nessy at Linked-in is a tiny company
  • Reviews: Amazon.com (US), none, versus Amazon.co.uk with only a few, reflects positively
Nessy has used several website name variations, several are unresponsive or no longer extant
Even nessy.co.uk diverts to nessy.com, so external links need updating
Diverse web presence
Nessy at Zen Desk with FAQ and related assistance
Nessy's Dyslexia Explained YouTube has 1 K subs, only 43 K views
Nessy at Twitter 37 K tweets since 2010
Nessy has about 10 apps on ipad and Android:

  • Delete, does not meet WP:GNG, did find a review/listing? here but more needed, suggested merge of all the related articles might work if overall wikinotability can be found, noting the lack of dislexia related subjects on WP an article on the Bristol Dislexia Centre or even the British Dislexia Association may be appropriate?

  • Redirect - To Net Educational Systems, the publishing company where this line of products is already mentioned. I was unable to find much on the "Nessy Tales" line specifically, so it does not look like it can be kept. I found a few sources mentioning the parent company or some of its other products, so that article might be able to pass the WP:GNG. But, for now, this article can be redirected there as an WP:ATD pending any further discussions on the parent company. Rorshacma (talk) 15:17, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
