keep it please or email me on l.walsh@hgluk.com on what needs to be changed :O)

  • Weak Keep, There are lots of articles about magazines... this is (weakly) sourced, but it's not a blantent advert... I don't see a compelling reason to delete.--Isotope23 17:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep according to the article, it's been published for more than 100 years. Although not the longest-running magazine in the world, I'd say a century of publishing makes it notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if the magazine has been around for over 100 years then I think it has some notabiltiy and credibility.
  • Keep per the above comments. - Mgm|(talk) 09:02, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article has now been tidied. Still a stub, though, but no longer NPOV. Ohconfucius 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. Fails WP:V. We only have the author's word that it has "a history of more than 100 years." Plus, I found this comment in Image:Surveyor.jpg ... "I made this cover, my magazine, I am making the wikipiedia entry becasue my friends keep asking me why we do not have one" ... which makes this WP:VSCA, and a blatant violation of WP:NPOV. (But since it makes a "claim of notability", it cannot be Speedy Delete.) --Dennette 10:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep http://www.surveyormagazine.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.companyinfo if you follow this link it says: Hemming Group Ltd. is a family-owned and privately run company. We are a business-to-business publisher and event organiser. For more than 100 years we have produced high quality magazines, exhibitions, directories and conferences serving a diverse range of domestic and international markets. For more information please visit www.hgluk.com. I don't know if non-subscribers can get all the info about the history of the mag so i cannot back up the 100 years claim at the moment - if i can offer more to back this up I will —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukewalsh1234 (talk • contribs) 11:07, 1 September 2006
  • Comment That's not the same as saying that Surveyor magazine has been in publication since 1906, just that it's parent company has been around that long. For all we know, this particular publication has only been around since last year! --Dennette 15:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Obviously that is fair enough and why I did not link to if before – like I said if I can find proof I would put it in – incidentally Surveyor began in 1892.

It is recorded in the British Library but I cannot find it on the online version I intend to look over the weekend if I can find I will obviously put it on as proof.
