No reliable independent sources showing notability. Scorpion293 (talk) 00:10, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination says that there are "no reliable independent sources", but does not explain how WP:BEFORE D1 was performed.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:45, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Shawn in Montreal: Thank you for pointing that out. A targeted Google search would have been sufficient to establish notability. In any event, I've listed plenty of sources on the page. Alázhlis (talk) 06:30, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that this is a real magazine. The article doesn't make it clear whether this was one issue, several, or published continuously since 2003. A look at the library catalog seems to indicate continuous publication since 2003. If so, that would be a keep for me. I'd like to see an article with more details, such as themes, notable writers and photographers who have contributed, readership/distribution numbers. Jack N. Stock (talk) 07:07, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've added more information to the article. As you can see, a number of notable authors did publish in the magazine and it was a continuing publication. Alázhlis (talk) 16:03, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Every aspect of the nomination is entirely unsatisfactory. Thincat (talk) 11:33, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It appears that the nominator has been blocked as a "sockpuppet" five minutes before this article was nominated for deletion. Not sure how this affects this discussion? Ottawahitech (talk) 12:57, 21 January 2017 (UTC)please ping me[reply]
@Ottawahitech: As I'm seeing it the block was 55 minutes after the nomination, and it was the first block, and not as a puppet.  However, I'd suggest this be closed as Speedy keep WP:NPASR WP:SK#1 as "no argument for deletion".  Unscintillating (talk) 15:27, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Second the motion for Speedy Keep if I'm allowed to do so. Thanks for the support! Alázhlis (talk) 02:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
