Speedy deletion of VoxPop Magazines
A tag has been placed on VoxPop Magazines requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. (EhJJ)TALK 01:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I deleted VoxPop Magazines, as it met CSD A7 of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria. The only item of notability that was provided by the article was awards given by the university itself, which do not constitute adequate notability. You justified your page by noting that Broadside, the George Mason University paper, also had an article, but note that that newspaper has been around since 1963, and has had much more time to acquire a greater semblance of notability. That your magazine was released less than two years ago and has not garnered any trace of notability outside of the university itself is quite a different matter. Nevertheless, if you can find secondary sources independent of the university to demonstrate notability, then I am sure it will be kept next time.
