[edit] Torchwood Magazine

Torchwood Magazine (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Unremarkable publication; article does not cite significance. richi (talk) 16:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - In such instances, it is better to tag so that editors can improve the article and add notability first, rather than jumping straight in and nominating what is otherwise a perfectly standard, albeit unreferenced, article; in any case, this is a national magazine by a well-known publisher about a well-known UK subject, with (a potentially citable) US edition coming.

• Keep - similar notability to Doctor Who Magazine. Think outside the box 16:59, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - Magazine publisher is Titan Magazines (closley associated with Titan Books) known for many other sci-fi television and movie focused publications, such as Stargate SG-1, Farscape, The X-Files etc. While the magazine is still young, the Torchwood franchise is notably intertwined with the Dr. Who Universe. Outside of the UK, Torchwood is now airing on BBC America, and this magazine is available on the US section of the titans magazine websites [1]. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 18:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
• Reluctant delete - doesn't assert notability.-- TreasuryTagtalkcontribs 18:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

What about being the sole publication for licensed Torchwood Comics? AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 18:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Would I be notable for being the sole source of Exit2DOS Doodles? Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 11:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Depends on how large your international fan base of said doodles is! AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 02:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - notable enough magazine that appears on the magazine shelves nationwide in the UK for sale to the general public. Canterbury Tail talk 04:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
• weak delete - Although I believe this will eventually be notable and deserve a Article, I do not feel that currently, after 1 issue, the magazine has established notability. May I suggest that the current Article be userfied to the creating editors user-space. Once the magazine has been able to establish itself in the marketplace, had notable editors, contributors &/or columns, shown that it is not a 'one off', been Cited as a 'source' of information or won a award, this Article would stand a better chance.

• Merge to Torchwood until it is more notable - not many issues out just now, but when more come, we can make the article better. StuartDD _{contributions} 15:15, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - The page is more of a stub until the magazine inevitably settles into a more regular set of features like Doctor Who Magazine has. As it stands, the page cannot be expanded much more with only two issues. The third, due out March 20, will certainly provide us with enough grounding to make a page with a similar grounding to the DWM page. Clockwork Apricot (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
