[edit] Failbetter

Appears to be advertising, per WP:NOT, also look at the creator's username. Delete Yanksox 20:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete because this one is like an ad, but the magazine may be worthy of a well-written article. —Mets501^talk 22:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and Keep. It does read like an ad, but it seems to have gained some notability -- mentions in lit blogs, interviews with well-known authors (Anne Tyler, Pam Houston, Michael Chabon, E.L. Doctorow, etc.) BuckRose 23:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. Nertz 00:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and Keep - This is one of the editors of this magazine. Our sincere apologies for not undertstanding the guidelines concerning self-submiting (we had recived bad advice to do so, not knowing the rules). Nevertheless, we hope that someone and/or a Wikipedia editor may deem the magazine worthy of an article since the magazine is widely read and discusses many subjects (authors) covered by Wikipedia. Thus, we hope someone will either re-write this entry and/or enter a new one in keeping with Wikipedia's guidelines. Thank you.
