Possible crisis in Western publishing

This was nominated way back in the day at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Possible crisis in Western publishing. Anyway, it's a small esoteric article and seems like a pretty clear soapbox to me Wafulz (talk) 23:15, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a soapbox as is, but it does look like critics have addressed these concerns. I would redirect to publishing (to preserve the history) and merge a sentence or two there (probably in the publishing as business section) that cites the sources provided.

Delete per WP:V and WP:SYN. No redirect necessary - there is no way "possible crisis in western publishing" will be a search term for someone looking for info on publishing that they won't find by looking for publishing. --Cheeser1 (talk) 05:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and merge anything that can be verified into publishing as suggested. A redirect isn't necessary as the article title isn't really a reasonable search term. The article seems speculative and OR-y, but it seems reasonable that there might be at least one source on it that would warrant the information's mention in another article. One source isn't enough for a topic to have its own article, but it's enough for it to be verifiably mentioned in another. LaMenta3 (talk) 05:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into the main article on publishing, as it is a POV fork. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 18:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is not encyclopedic as written and I question if the topic could ever lead to more than an essay. JJL (talk) 22:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nothing to be merged. Everything faces a "possible crisis". Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 22:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
