Proposed merge with AV2 by Weigl
editI don't think AV2 by Weigl has standalone notability, as it doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG. Content about the imprint should be merged here. signed, Rosguill talk 18:57, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
I'm a bit concerned that this will fall through the cracks, so I'm moving all original content in that article to this section so that other editors can easily complete the merge. signed, Rosguill talk 18:59, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
