Failing to see how this subject meets notability criteria. Article seems to just list books in the series and provide an advertisement-like blurb to the series. Boredintheevening (talk) 20:48, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not all of the books in the list are blue-linked, and the wiki-notability case for some of them looks a bit dubious. For example, The Politically Incorrect Guide to English and American Literature doesn't seem to have made much of a splash, and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwinism and Intelligent Design is just a redirect to a brief section in Jonathan Wells (intelligent design advocate). So, arguing that the list needs to exist is somewhat of an uphill task. Is there any reason why the existence of this series can't be briefly described at Regnery Publishing?

Very selective merge to Regnery Publishing. Most of the books don't appear to be wiki-notable in their own right, so the navigational utility of the list is limited, and the series does not appear to be discussed as a whole either. In short, there's a bit to say about it, but it doesn't need a stand-alone article. The blue-linked items from the list and the contents of the "Criticisms" section could be added to § Regnery Publishing (1993–present). XOR'easter (talk) 00:12, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge per XOR'easter. Wouldn't be better as a standalone article. Sungodtemple (talk) 23:13, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
