  • Delete unless an assertion of notability can be made and verified; currently the article has none. -- Hawaiian717 17:47, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thin Air has been operating and publishing as a non-profit literary journal since 1995. Thin Air is affiliated with Northern Arizona University.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrl73 (talk • contribs)
    • Eleven years of publishing history is probably not enough to make a literary journal notable.Kchase T 18:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete No indication of notability that I could find on their website.--Kchase T 18:04, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment McSweeney's has not been publishing for over a decade, yet there is an indication of notability there, as far as Wikipedia is concerned. Please refer to the current Thin Air Website for further indications of notability. User:jrl73
    • McSweeney's published Stephen King, IMO that alone makes them notable enough for inclusion. Just because they're not longer active doesn't make them non-notable (using that argument, we'd have to remove all the dead people like George Washington). -- Hawaiian717 19:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

As far back as the third issue, Thin Air Literary Magazine has published notable, award-winning authors like Rick Bass. Names like that may fly under the radar, as literature will when you while your days away reading someone whose writing is, according to S.T. Joshi, "mostly bloated, illogical and maudlin." -- Userjrl73
