Draft:People of Print

  • Comment: Moving/reformatting poor quality sources does not help notability. This is still far from meeting NCORP criteria. What is needed are: Multiple fully independent, secondary sources (that meet the standard for reliable sources) that contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth. (Notability is not inherited from the artists they work with.)
    Note to reviewers: This is a COI entry, as the creator's name matches the name of the founder of the company. Netherzone (talk) 19:41, 19 February 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: Sourcing consists of blogs and a link to where to by their book along with the price. Netherzone (talk) 20:32, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
