• Delete, advertising. Evidence of importance not presented, will change vote if someone presents a verifiable source citation suggesting this is important in, say, the way Olympia Press or Grove Press was. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:07, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • This is a current imprint, along the lines of, say Target Books. It doesn't have historical important, but neither does Target or many other current imprints. 23skidoo 01:13, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. -- JJay 02:09, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
  • It's still a stub, but I removed the POV and ad-like copy. It's now a more straightforward stub. 23skidoo 01:15, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's (currently) a crappy stub but the line is notable. I have faith a one-handed typist will be able to expand on it eventually. Ifnord 03:34, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep -- as a subject it's probably valid, but this stub gives little or no workable content --Simon Cursitor 08:24, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - yep, though you wouldnt know it from the stub, Black Lace is definitely a notable UK imprint. They were rather groundbreaking, a decade or so ago, as a wing of a mainstream publisher bringing erotica imprints into mainstream bookshops. Here is an article explaining the background.

• Keep It is a stub, but it could be grown. xaosflux ^Talk/_CVU 17:43, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand as long as notability can be proved and is demonstrated in expanded article. StealthFox 18:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
