- Wrong forum Let's see, the "about" page says that Pearson is, "the world's largest education company, with 40,000 employees in more than 70 countries". So there is no case for a WP:DEL8 deletion. Notability for a subsidiary should be discussed on the talk page of the article, and at most result in a merge. There is plenty of work to be done for this topic without adding to the work with a discussion of deletion policies. For example, lots of the prose has no citations. An editor on the talk page considers out loud merging to the parent article. However, these are all content decisions, not deletion decisions. Unscintillating ( talk) 19:33, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Delete Yes publishing company notable, but there is no third party reference to keep. If article improved with third party sources acceptable by Wiki then we can keep. Jessie1979 ( talk) 10:26, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

- merge into Pearson Education as per the suggestion on its talk page - I have looked through google news and have been unable to find anything but trivial mentions such as on a story about XYZ, "hours after appearing on the website of its publisher, InformIT, XYZ..."

- Merge to Pearson Education as not independently notable per available sources. Redirect may also be an option. K.e.coffman ( talk) 05:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
