  • Comment: Both the two additional references only establish that the company published a periodical, not that it was a notable periodical or that publishing the periodical is a notable achievement. In fact one of those references is just a copy of the periodical which technically is a primary source. Dan arndt (talk) 14:03, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: IMSLP is an open Wiki database and therefore not an acceptable or reliable reference.
    The Library of Congress reference only lists copies of the publication held by the library not that the firm is notable.
    The Ingalls Wilder Family Songbook reference only confirms they published Skelly's "Keep the Horse Shoe Over the Door" nothing else. Dan arndt (talk) 04:11, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Only the History of Cleveland goes the organization some significant coverage. The rest are just passing mentions / record lookups. Needs more sources to show notability WP:ORGCRIT AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:38, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not clear that the publisher is that notable. List implies they only published 3 songs. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:35, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
