• Strong Keep for this notable association. I have added a {{Rescue}} template to the article, and I am doing research to add pertinent secondary inline citations to this stub. I will also add links from other articles to this article, with appropriate inline citations. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:09, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Seems to be notable enough. Basing an afd on a Google search is flawed in the extreme and not recommended practice. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:17, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ITSNOTABLE, plesae provide evidence of significant indepth coverage. LibStar (talk) 22:47, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep If those it represents are notable, than so is it. Just like a record company is notable if it has a lot of big name stars published under it, and likewise for film studios. Dream Focus 21:14, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep. "The largest association of scholarly and professional publications in the world", awarded, publishing a "most stimulating" Journal. The article is now inline sourced, but the subject is rich, other sources exist and the article can be grown.Racconish ^Tk 00:30, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment "Recipient of the 2003 Association for Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP) Award for "Service to Not-for-Profit Publishing", HighWire collaborates with scholarly societies, university presses and publishers to host a large body of clinical and research literature." from the Highwire Press article. I hope to obtain a list of the ALPSP awards for every year, to be added to the article, with links to the appropriate organization or person where possible. --DThomsen8 (talk) 00:27, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. 2010 Awards list added. Racconish ^Tk 13:53, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
