I think that the various and changing software tools of Blurb for creating books can be described in the main article Blurb, Inc.. Apparently, they're phasing out this particular application, as the page http://www.blurb.com/booksmart points to "other free, easy-to-use tools to create beautiful books". But I'm not proposing articles about BookWright and their other current tools, as I do not think these have any notability independently of the Blurb platform. The (rather old) articles in the "References" section are more about the offerings of Blurb in general, mentioning the then-current software BookSmart, but not focussing on the latter.

• Redirect to Blurb, Inc. It looks to have been created with promotional intent; on the other hand, it's been here since 2006 and the article creator hasn't been here since 2007. So I don't think it's worth the effort of deleting. Deb (talk) 12:28, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Redirect to Blurb, Inc., not sure how you found this, but definitely not notable. Isingness (talk) 02:24, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
