Gale, Heinle, Schirmer, South-Western, Wadsworth and
Houghton-Mifflin College Division,, all well known in the respective areas, andabout 650 smaller imprints, once most of them independent ocmpanies, some important in their fields. . To say something is educational material created for Cengage is as significant as to say its a reference book for Gale, or a health science college text from Wadsworth, or a undergraduate text from Brooks/Cole, or a research level reference database by Gale --all of them major professional and academic imprints. The name is unfamiliar, but thats a combination of publishers buying parts of each other and decisions to adopt new brand names that nobody recognizes. Now, some of what Cengage does is fairly low level, including the production ofc ustomized textbooks for individual instructors, but this can not be assumed. We need to look at what she actually wrote.

reluctance of libaries to buy rapidly changing undergraduate texts, holdings as wide as these show widespread use. I consider this a careless nomination, without any attempt to see what the publisher actually was, or to check the actual books. COI is cause for looking carefully, but not for deletion. As for the PR guy who did the article, I'll advise him appropriately to him to try to prevent his messing up this way again. Perhaps he knows some reviews he can add to further show the notability.

Cengage is not a minor company--its a major educational publisher, one of the largest: recent reorgnization/split of part of the
Thomson-Gale publishing conglomerate, which will publish educational and reference material from the former publishing imprints:Brooks/Cole, Course Technology, Delmar,

As far as I can see these are widely used undergraduate textbooks. There are three of them present in over 200 US libraries; most have gone into as many as 8 multiple editions. The standard for WP:PROF accepts writing of widely used textbooks as notability, and she qualifies here. Given the
