Keep ACX is owned by Audible.com which is owned by Amazon.com and one could make a case of inherited notability. WP:INHERITED is allowed when appropriate, if this content did not exist here it would have to be tacked onto the Audible article and it makes more sense to split it off to a separate article. ACX is a significant and important part of the audiobook industry, an industry more than 50% controlled by Audible (Amazon). Further we do have some sources, [1][2][3][4][5][6].. plus more. To call this article an "ad" suggests it is POV and I am not seeing it, the prose is factual, pithy, and doesn't puff up the topic. However that is a content dispute better resolved on the article talk page and not at AfD. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 14:14, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
