The result was speedy close, wrong venue for this problem. WP:COPYVIO suggests reversion as a first resort and WP:COIN is for serious conflict-of-interest problems. Notability was not called into question, so no rationale for deletion. Non-admin closure. --Dhartung | Talk 06:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

This page is essentially a copy-paste of the official site. Serious NPOV and COI issues, not to mention copyright concerns. Tool2Die4 (talk) 19:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

  • No need to delete. Revert to version immediately before new user naively started adding to it, then systematically improve article (year of founding, focus subjects, any prominent books they may have published, etc.). A2Kafir (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep and revert back to the March 13, 2008 version before the WP:COI and WP:COPYVIO was added, then expand. This is the publishing house of a notable university so this is certainly not a non-notable topic, but we can't just have cut and paste from their website. KleenupKrew (talk) 21:53, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The copyvio text can be removed and the article reduced to a stub, but scholarly publishing is a noteworthy activity. See this Google News search for many news hits, primarily for reviews of notable books published by the press. --Eastmain (talk) 21:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The copyright, NPOV and COI concerns raised by the nominator are easily addressed, and in fact the article has already been largely cleaned up. Maralia (talk) 01:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:41, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
