[edit] Anthill Magazine

Anthill Magazine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Basically advertising of a non-notable magazine. No secondary sources. Creator has an obvious conflict of interest and his own self-created bio is also under discussion. —Moondyne click! 09:46, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Basically per nom - I'm not seeing any real assertions of notability, and I couldn't find anything. Same applies for author. dihydrogen monoxide (H₂O) 10:47, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia seems too tempting for public relations professionals to avoid. Self-promotion of own non-notable publication. Murtoa (talk) 10:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment. I added a reference from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Is there an Australian counterpart of FOLIO:, the U.S. magazine about magazine publishing? It might have coverage of Anthill Magazine. --Eastmain (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
• Delete One soft business profile isn't enough to meet WP:N and nothing better comes up on a google search. The COI and wording make it pretty clear that this article was created to promote the magazine. --Nick Dowling (talk) 23:28, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment In my defence, this is a first draft and we’re still yet to tone down the 'fluffery' (or work out how to properly footnote). Anthill is one of Australia's highest circulating consumer business magazines (top five). In theory, I assume that should qualify it. We have 80,000 readers who care what we say each issue (when The Australian Newspaper has a readership of 120,000, as a point of comparison). Would Wikipedia accept the top five US business magazines as being wiki-worthy? I hope so. In short, delete away, if it does sound a bit 'self-promotional'. However, I'd be more than happy to pass this to an author who knows what he or she is doing --James Tuckerman 5:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamestuckerman (talk • contribs)
