Advertisement for a non-notable magazine. Damiens.rf 18:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep – At first glance I was going to say delete. However, after a little checking I found quite a few articles on the magazine as shown here, [1]. Do I agree with the philosophy, No. But to each is own. And more importantly, I do think they meet the criteria for Notability. ShoesssS Talk 18:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

The huge majority of those few articles on your link are not about the magazine at all. --Damiens.rf 14:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
And your point is? There are over 600 hits. Even with a huge majority, though in my review I did not see that, of 90% not having anything to do with either the magazine or group (who by the way go hand in hand), still leaves over 60 cites from reliable – verifiable – creditable and 3rd party sourcing. Are you saying that is not Notable? Thanks, ShoesssS Talk 14:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
Further comment: The article is about both a magazine and a non-profit group. In my brief search, notability is turning up for the group, but I'm not seeing notability for the magazine. I really have no clue if this means the article should be rewritten to focus more on the group than the magazine.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:56, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Time Magazine, The New York Times, the Toronto Star, the Times of India, the Washington Post and many others consider this to be a notable subject, so how can it not be notable for Wikipedia? Phil Bridger (talk) 13:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Some of the history can be seen in this blog entry at "Polyamory in the Media." The magazine wasn't being published for a while but is recently being relaunched. There was a mention of Loving More on the TV show "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" in two episodes. However it is not a fictional organization! See this article and this one for some background.

  • Keep. But rewrite to focus on the group rather than the magazine. The magazine is uninteresting compared to the other work the group does (media advocacy, run conferences.)151.200.149.157 (talk) 03:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Both the organization and its magazine have been a major element of the polyamory community. Editing would make more sense than wholesale deletion. Desmond Ravenstone (talk) 03:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I copied PhilBridger's refs into the article. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 17:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
