Talk:Standpoint (magazine)

Perhaps Orangemike does not follow political magazines  and was under the misimpression that this is  some sort of non-notable or vanity publication. Perhaps he was merely overhasty. Please note that while this publication is new, it is handsomely funded and the project of a group of distinguished, experienced journalists and that its notability is established by the media attention it is receiving.Elan26 (talk) 16:47, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Elan26

The primary use of the word "standpoint" is for standpoint theory, not for this relatively minor magazine. The word should not direct here automatically but, rather, to a disambiguation page. I don't know how to make that happen but I hope somebody with the skills will come along and do it. Thank you in advance!Rentstrike (talk) 05:53, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Origins
The origins section sounds rather bias. Rather than discussing the origins from a neutral perspective, it almost instantly dismisses the magazine as a 'right-wing' response to Prospect magazine... sounds rather biased... particularly in the UK where the label right-wing is used derogatively by many. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.4.154.50 (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, since « The first issue included [...] articles by [...] Douglas Murray, [...] Jay Nordlinger, Bruce Bawer », 3 far-right autors, and since « The second included an article by Melanie Phillips about the Muhammad al-Durrah incident, claiming the boy was not dead and that it was a "deadly fabrication". » an antisemite (since Charles Enderlin is jewish) conspiracy theory, then maybe calling Standpoint 'right-wing' is a mistake.

Is it still going?
There hasn't been a new issue onsale anywhere since Christmas 2020, the stories on the website are mostly getting on for a year old. Has it packed up? I want to know 'cos the article will need massive updating if the magazine is dead, not just because I liked reading it and want to know if it has a future.Romomusicfan (talk) 00:07, 16 May 2021 (UTC) Yes, nothing about it online...oddly the twitter account is still going, but just referring to old articles, and again without mentioning current status — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.244.13 (talk) 13:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
 * yeah, it does look a bit quiescent, doesn't it - David Gerard (talk) 13:42, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

RS coverage
For a well-funded magazine that claims considerable import, there's a paucity of RS coverage - except for one controversial article in 2008. Are there good sources for anything in the thirteen years hence? - David Gerard (talk) 13:37, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Tagged for questionable notability. The RS coverage of the 2008 incident is entirely about Nazir-Ali, and all seems to mention the magazine just in passing as the venue where Nazir-Ali said this - David Gerard (talk) 08:50, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Removed the Nazir-Ali section - 0% of the sources actually say anything useful about Standpoint itself - David Gerard (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Seeing no sign that this meets any of the prongs of WP:NPERIODICAL - David Gerard (talk) 17:19, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Undue emphasis
This old news, rather inside baseball, and hardly the first thing we need to know in 2021.

Its launch was noted in May 2008; two months later, the magazine's launch publisher lost his appointment and left the title.
