The page obviously looks like a promotional page. It's not a an article shall be created for a publishing company for it's general publications. In that case, every book publishing company and NGO on the globe shall have its own page. There are lots of feminist publishing houses and this happened to be the first. The parent company page already exists, then why do we have a different page for this. Thewikizoomer (talk) 19:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete There is one good source, one so-so given in the article as it stands now (both green per sourcebot). I can only find evidence that they exist (book reviews for books they've published, list of books by them at various book fairs in India). One more decent source, it would be a keep.

Live Mint seems to be better than the Hindu source, both in the article. Oaktree b (talk) 20:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sigcov already in the page and this article in The Punch. I also don't appreciate the nominator threatening me with administrative action for deprodding this article earlier. pburka (talk) 21:26, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That’s really inappropriate. Closing admin see: diff 1, diff 2

Keep. This publisher meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. A search for their name in Wikipedia Library returns 196 hits in magazines and journals. In addition, I found media coverage of the press in Scroll.in (link), Outlook India (link), The Punch Magazine, Ananke Magazine, Paper Planes, Frontlist, and other places. --SouthernNights (talk) 22:48, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - lots of refs and notable. —A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 00:58, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - notability per above. Also note to the nominator, pleass note that WP:WHATABOUT is not a good reason to nominate an article for deletion. Raladic (talk) 18:56, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
