Declined Speedy Delete. Possible non-notable subject though Google returns some hits. Prefer a wider debate rather than prod Pedro |  Chat  14:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. As stated above, there are few hits for this magazine. It is non notable except, perhaps, in a small niche market. There is little indication that notability exists there. --Stormbay 15:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Canley 10:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable magazine. Keb25 11:00, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, it is a niche magazine that is notable in that market.[1][2] It is known internationally[3][4], and recognised as an appropriate publication to advertise in to reach certain demographics, by the ACT govt. John Vandenberg 10:16, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete - All of the press and ACT government mentions are minor and peripheral. Searching through Australian newspapers shows no articles primarily about the magazine. Appears to be a free advertising-supported magazine that has attracted little interest in the wider world. Fails to be notable - Peripitus (Talk) 04:06, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per JV very well known in Australia —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex McKenzie (talk • contribs) 05:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC) — Alex McKenzie (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
    Comment I hope that whoever makes the final decision on this piece will check Australian sources because it doesn't appear to meet notability there, either. --Stormbay 16:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Only trivial mentions in some newspapers and government publications. Nothing substantial. Schools and churches with better references get deleted, so why keep this. Assize 12:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Have reviewed and tend to agree with Assize and Peripitus on the sourcing. Fails WP:N. Orderinchaos 17:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've read the publication myself several times, so I wouldn't regard a wikipedia entry on it as spam. However, if there are no reliable references we can't write a substantial truthiness-free article on it for now.
