Fails to establish notability. Article a little bit 'spammy' . Hammer1980·^talk 16:57, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I disagree with the nom with regard to notability: this sounds like a big-box publishing house. However, the inordinate number of redlinks in the article warrants a thorough cleanup, maybe even a rewrite from scratch. --Blanchardb-Me^MyEars_MyMouth-timed 17:44, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems a notable company. ft.com search reports 102 articles mentioning it. Matt 03:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.115.128 (talk)

• Comment. Noteable company, horrid article. Needs extensive cleanup and is borderline spam. Majoreditor (talk) 22:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Agreed, the article has a number of shortcomings. At the moment it's a dry list of facts that needs fleshing out, and the numerous red links – some to topics that will probably never have their own articles – make it look kind of "broken". But, assuming that the facts are accurate (I haven't checked but I don't see anyone disputing this), I don't see why it is spammy. Wouldn't we expect the finished article to list the company's important deals and its most important titles? Even the PR-speak claim that "the firm has grown quickly" seems in this case to be amply borne out by the list of acquisitions that follows. Matt 20:59, 8 December 2007 (UTC).

• Delete or merge with APAX. Seems very spammy and not that notable. Can always be recreated if it is notableMbisanz (talk) 15:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
