Prod or AfD?

edit

I think the notability concerns are valid, but there are enough hits on Google Books that I would like this to get the extra scrutiny of an AfD Guy Macon (talk) 09:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Oh no. I'm not picking up that end of the chainsaw again, I'm running out of fingers. Looks like there's at least one Google Books hit that mentions Unibind in passing, which makes it at least as notable as some random plastic diode. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:36, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I made a start. Marasmusine (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Were you going to add a citation or two? That's what the article really needs to avoid future notability concerns. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:22, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
More of a replacement. I removed mybinding.com citation because it was a commercial website that would not have passed WP:RS. I added Richard Craft's "Perfect Binding" instead. It's only one paragraph. I have no interest in binding machines and can't remember why this is on my watchlist. Other possible sources: Unibind PhotoBook system is recommended in "Digital Photography" (John Wiley and Sons, 2010) and "The Art of Fine Art Printing" (Uwe Steinmueller, 2006) but I wouldn't call the coverage "significant". There are other hits on Google Books that are limited to snippet views, but hint at something more substantial (People's Computer Company, PC Magazine). It feels like this would pass Notability given enough investigation. This is pretty low on my to-do list :) Marasmusine (talk) 20:11, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
I stumbled on Unibind while looking at Category:Dead-end pages. This is a fruitful source of articles that need the roughest sort of copyediting to get them to the point where people can actually start working on them. Since the threshold of notability is miserably low, I won't try an AfD nomination in hopes that Wikproject:Bookbinding will clean this up and turn it into a Featured Article some day. --Wtshymanski (talk) 20:24, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Just for you, then, I'll put in extra effort to expand this article! Marasmusine (talk) 21:42, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
