[edit] Merge

I suggest that American City Business Journals be merged into Advance Publications, as Advance Publications own American City Business Journals, and neither article has much to say other than they are companies which publish newspapers - this can be achieved quite well within the one article.

Absolutely yes--there is no additional content there. It will mean changing a number of links, of course.DGG (talk) 18:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Oppose The publishing industry is a bit different than other businesses in that publishers tend to have a number of imprints (either that they spun off themselves or smaller companies that were obtained through purchase or merger. There is precedent for notable imprints to have their own pages. Advance Publications is certainly notable enough based on it's size and especially the unique publications they produce. If the content in this article is of concern, it should be improved but moving it to it's parent company's page is not the way to fix that.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

Hello. I added a WikiProject and a "citations missing" tag. From my point of view, ok in advance to remove either or both. The rating is low only because I couldn't tell if the "External links" section is the reference section. If that turns out to be the case I guess this is a Start class article already but am not sure. -Susanlesch (talk) 02:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
