- Keep - obviously real, audited circulation 25,000, which makes it not insignificant for a business trade publication. There's no encyclopedic purpose to deleting these kinds of articles. Independent sourcing is not a very useful notability standard for trade publications but no doubt there are some.

- Full disclosure: I wrote this article back in 2005, when both my own sense of and Wikipedia's articulation of notability were not as well-developed as they are now. If I were creating an article today, however, I'd probably just describe it in the article on its publisher, which is in pretty sore need of expansion itself anyway.

- Merge to Laurentian Media Group. DoubleBlue (Talk) 21:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- I also support the merge to Laurentian Media Group. That article should be expanded with information on their other publications as well. Also note that this isn't a "small local trade magazine", it covers all of Northern Ontario. vıdıoman 00:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
