Removing AfD template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Mafia Magazine. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot I  Talk to my owner :Online 07:28, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

I am the author of the article and was informed it was going to be deleted. I have tried several times to correct the suggested edits (citations/references) and was informed the article would be deleted due to lack of "notable" third party references, even though the magazine has been sold on amazon since 2011. Seems no matter what I did, it wasn't enough, so I chose to delete the article. I truly see no reason to keep it, if its already been decided by Wikipedia to delete it.

Jane Bordeaux is credited as being the first female musician to be featured on the full cover of Mafia Magazine a hip hop and R&B  music magazine published in Brooklyn, N.Y. by Gray & Moseley Publishing Company, LLC and similar artists featured on it's cover are Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.

Replaceable fair use File:Recording artist, Jane Bordeaux.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Recording artist, Jane Bordeaux.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξ xplicit  20:58, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
