Declined PROD. Rationale was Likely ineligible for A7 due to the credible claim of significance, however, source searches do not turn up the requisite depth of coverage for it to be considered notable. Google, WorldCat and JSTOR searches in both English and German turn up little in the way of significant coverage and while it has since been improved I feel the original PROD rationale still applies.

Comment This looks like a very interesting publisher, from the titles of the books they published (on topics including erotica, magic, the evil eye, crime fiction, etc). It seems that they were based in Leipzig in the second half of the 19th century, then in Berlin in the first half of the 20th century. German Wikipedia has redlinks for this publisher's name in a couple of articles, but no article yet. I think this is a subject which requires access to resources which are not online, and probably not in English either (though I have searched under "Verlag Hermann Barsdorf", "Hermann Barsdorf Verlag" and "Barsdorf Verlag", I think there probably aren't enough digitised sources in German yet). I will try searching in digitised German newspapers, although those which are online only cover a few years of the 20th century ..... Wuapinmon, sources do not need to be in English, so if you do have sources in other languages, please add them! RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:28, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
