Xlibris[edit]

Article is an advertisement for a non-notable small printing corporation - recommend delete per WP:SPAM. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 06:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep actually seems quite notable. The fact that is listed that Piers Anthony is going to republish one of his most famous series with them should help assert notability. I also retrieved this article from www.printondemand.com, a very common and highly used resource for those who do POD. A Google News Search turns up many stories where they are at least mentioned in passing, including mentions in the New York Daily News, The Sunday Times, a more exacting one in Mail Tribune to mention a few. Seems highly notable and popular in the POD arena. The article should be reworked slightly to be less advertisementy, but the company deserves an article.Ben W Bell talk 08:28, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - needs rewriting for NPOV but Xlibris are fairly well known in the print-on-demand community. Pete Fenelon 01:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, one of the best-known self-publishing companies. If, on the off chance, you're worried about this article conferring notability on who they publish, there's really nothing to worry about. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
