Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Magazines in Houston. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. —Bruce1eetalk 22:23, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Please advise what part of listing organization name, location and purpose promotional? A Houston magazine should be listed on the Houston Magazines Wiki. Houstoncigarlife (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Seriously? Your user name is the name of your product; your product is not, apparently notable and thus there is no warrant for inclusion in that article; ergo, its place on that list is for promotional purposes only. Also, read the user name policy please. Drmies (talk) 03:22, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The username is the reason? Houston Cigar Life is a Houston based magazine. It's absurd to not have a Houston magazine listed on a Wiki list of Houston Magazines. Where else on Wiki would that be appropriate other than that list? Houstoncigarlife (talk) 03:27, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No, it is absurd to think that Wikipedia is the Yellow Pages. There is no place on Wikipedia, as far as I can tell, that an entry for your magazine is appropriate. Well, let me rephrase that. If it turns out that this magazine of yours is reliable (per WP:RSS), it might be cited in order to verify information about, say, some topic in Houston. But an entry or an article, no--not until secondary publications discuss your magazine. Drmies (talk) 03:30, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So you are saying Houston Cigar Life is not a magazine based in Houston? Which is why there is no place for it anywhere on Wiki? Houstoncigarlife (talk) 03:46, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Please read more carefully, and see non sequitur. We are not the Yellow Pages. "Place" is decided by coverage in secondary sources. Hmm that sounds like I said it before. Drmies (talk) 15:11, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
