Mythos Media

Template:La (delete) – (View log)

Article appears to be about a non-notable publishing company that does not meet WP:CORP. TN‑X-Man 19:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Fails WP:CORP. The first sentence is also spammy. PeterSymonds (talk) 21:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Agree with both Tnxman and PeterSymonds, it's just not notable enough to pass WP:CORP. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 22:03, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete This 1 day old article looks and feels like WP:SPAM. The company is just not notable as of May 2008. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Artene50 (talk) 05:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Mythos Media is the publisher of James Curcio's book Fallen Nation, which is the sequel to Join My Cult. Join My Cult is currently listed in Wikipedia, and Fallen Nation is mentioned. Why shouldn't the publisher of Fallen Nation be listed as well? Mythos Media also published subQtaneous, which featured Collide guitarist Scott Landis. subQtaneous has been reviewed in Regen Magazine - which is cited in the Wikipedia article - and Jive Magazine. It has also been featured on AlterTube. Mythos Media itself has been mentioned on Alterati, Greylodge and Key 64, all web sites with significant traffic. Mythos Media also published Veil of Thorns: Cognitive Dissonance, which was review by noted writer and critic Mick Mercer. And the first sentence that "seems spammy" was taken straight for the publisher's web site. I've made some changes to properly quote the first line and add in information about Mick Mercer's review. If there is anything else that you guys think is needed for this to pass the WP:CORP feel free to let me know. There are ton of links out there about items published by Mythos Media, including sources of noteable repute. I just figured I would be able to build this page slowly in my spare time.Szul2012 (talk) 09:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Again, I see a lot of people throwing in the delete word, but nobody giving a good explanation why, or offering ways to help make it (in their eyes) conform better to the WP:CORP. The WP:CORP says "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." Products by Mythos Media have been covered in Jive Magazine and reviewed by Mick Mercer, both notable, independent secondary sources. Is the company famous? No. But the WP:CORP guidelines differentiate between "notability" and "fame." Szul2012 (talk) 10:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.48.29.66 (talk)
• Keep, albeit weakly, and some of the promotional style language could be profitably edited. While notability may not be inherited, this does appear to be a publisher of some fairly widely distributed works of popular culture. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:CORP. User:Szul2012 above is correct in that products of this company have been covered, but the company itself does not appear to have received much attention, which I believe is the important bit in this case. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 03:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC).
