Nominated soon after creation, and just over 3300 bytes, satisfying length and date criteria. The article states "Stuart sold his company to Carol Management for US$12 million", but the source says it was the company and the imprints Citadel Press and University Books. I get a "File cannot be found in Item." for the Time "Do-It-Yourself Death Lessons" ref. I will assume good faith for the Vitanza ref I cannot access. Hooks are suitably short and sourced. QPQ completed. (Aside, but not necessary for DYK: Lyle Stuart, Inc. was based in Secaucus, but upon creation of Carol Publishing moved to Manhattan, and later moved to Secaucus again.) Once the minor issue of the imprints is clarified, I can promote this. Mind matrix 15:21, 3 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
