[edit] Journalist (Russian magazine)

Journalist (Russian magazine) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested speedy, Russian language magazine. No assertion of notability, no context, no sources. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 04:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Withdraw magazine being published since 1914 would qualify as an assertion of notability. Article still needs expansion and some good English language (if possible) snources. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 12:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. I spent some time trying to establish the existence of this magazine but could not find a single mention. I found a list which seems to be authoritative and recent enough which does not list this magazine. While that may not be proof for non-existence I think the difficulty of finding a source is evidence for not being notable. --Ubardak (talk) 04:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment I'm already leaning towards keep even despite the present lack of secondary sources. A magazine founded in 1914 [1] is definitely worth a closer look for sources about them. The founder/first editor-in-chief Vladimir Friche (Frische? Fritsche?) has a ruwiki entry (ru:Фриче, Владимир Максимович) and himself appears to be notable (few GHits, but very high quality ones even in English [2][3]). cab (talk) 05:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, I think. GHITS for the man are higher if you use the traditional form "V.M. Friche" or the Russian "Фриче". I found this entry in the Fundamental Digital Library of Russian Literature and Folklore. This appears to account an academic seminar on the journal's history. This commemorated its 90th anniversary. --Dhartung | Talk 08:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
