[edit] Ma Nao Books

Vanity article that does not conform to any Wiki standards. Article is supposedly about a book publishing company, but is only briefly mentioned in the opening. The rest of the article reads like a resume for the company's founder. No edits other than creation by presumably the company's founder, and that is the only edit in their history. Google search of the title in quotes returns 25 hits, so company lacks notability.

comment addressed Crockspot criticisms; what number of google hits constitutes notability? (posted by User:Ma Nao, formatted by Crockspot 03:27, 29 September 2006 (UTC))

There is no magic number, and google hits are only one way to guage notability. But twenty-five is a very small number of hits, and most of those hits are from the company website. See Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations), Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements masquerading as articles, Wikipedia:Vanity guidelines, and Wikipedia:Cruft.
