Majo Mills Joy Stovall/Joyous 23:10, Jan 17, 2005 =Mosquito ringtone Possible crisis in Western publishing=
Original research?
Sabrina Martins 172.172.35.229/172.172.35.229 22:03, 29 Dec 2004 * Strong '''keep'''. Even without research on Google I know many facts thqt back that article. I immagine we have a great stub there.
Nextel ringtones Gtabary/Gtabary 22:48, 29 Dec 2004 *Tentative '''keep'''. There is a factual basis for an article here. I don't know whether this is the best place for it, though. It might be better placed as a subsection of
Abbey Diaz publishing or

Majo Mills Shimeru/Shimeru 23:14, Dec 29, 2004 *"keep". It is not original research, as references show.
Mosquito ringtone Mikkalai/Mikkalai 00:16, 30 Dec 2004 *'''Keep''', has potential for expansion.
Sabrina Martins Megan1967/Megan1967 01:16, 30 Dec 2004 *'''Keep.''' Legitimate topic. (Would that I could similarly vote ''keep'' for Wordsworth in Harvard Square, and the Avenue Victor Hugo Bookstore in Boston). It's gotta be '''moved''' somewhere though, that article title is awful. "Consolidation of the U. S. publishing industry?" Nope... "Decline of independent booksellers in the U. S.?" Nope...
Cingular Ringtones Dpbsmith/Dpbsmith fit as User_talk:dpbsmith/(talk) 02:40, 30 Dec 2004 *Move to some other title. For the love of Mike, this is a bad, bad, bad title. There is a crush in publishing, as large houses are bought by larger multinationals and catalogs are ripped apart and even prestigious academic presses that never noticed profits and losses begin imitating the trades, but, of course, that's ''not'' what this article is talking about! How absurd. At the same time, retailing has changed, although, frankly, what has really happened is that the mall stores that killed the neighborhood shops are getting killed by big chains and the Internet. The funky used shop is actually doing well, just as the used record shop hasn't been hurt. How about
latino themes Trends in retail books?
concourse at Geogre/Geogre 04:16, 30 Dec 2004 * '''Keep''', but yes, move to a better title. "Publishing in the modern world"?

charities instead publishing''' or '''find a title that makes any sense'''.

**RaD, we already have a title. It's
for shehadeh concentration of media ownership.

*I vote '''keep''', of course, as I created and primarily edited this stub (not yet a full article, which it could easily be - as voters might have seen, there are at least three book length works about it.) Have to vote against merges for the latter reason. Title could do with a change, but it is NOT just about American media ownership (I'm overly sicked and tired of
main roads Americentrism on Wikipedia) - it's about Western publishing in general; the "crisis" is not widely accepted as being one - intellectuals complain, businessmen feel justified (obviously) - hence "possible", but suggestions welcome.
vindicated the Simonides/Simonides 20:08, 30 Dec 2004 **Hi Simonides. While there may be a lot of works written about it, that doesn't mean it can't be part of the
to sweep publishing article. While it's not just an American issue, neither is it just a Western one. I merged ''Crisis'' into
music forms publishing to see what it would look like. Do you (or the rest of you) find the current version agreeable? -
controversies seems Cmprince/Cmprince 21:02, 30 Dec 2004 *Merge with Publishing and '''delete'''. No reason for there to be an article on a "possible" crisis in publishing, separate from the article on publishing.
BM/BM 22:37, 30 Dec 2004 *Marginal '''keep'''. VfD is not necessary for merging/redirection.
GRider/GRider\User_talk:GRider/talk 22:40, 30 Dec 2004 *Certainly keep the content. Merge with Publishing makes sense to me.
