Stamford Plus magazine
Hello, I listed the article you created, Stamford Plus magazine, for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stamford Plus magazine. I am concerned about the magazine's notability and also that the page serves only for promotion (your recent edits of this in Stamford, Connecticut and Norwalk, Connecticut have me concerned as well, esp. because the publication does not yet exist in Norwalk). Feel free to join the debate! TJ0513 16:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your note. As I mentioned in my discussion with you on the deletion request page, I respectfully disagree with you. The magazine's notability comes from the fact that it is the only magazine for Stamford, CT and the article merely informs who owns it and what is the purpose of the publication, without going into detail about the quality, circulation or any other attributes of the magazine, which could very well (and for a reason) be considered as promotion. Norwalk Plus will also be the only magazine for Norwalk, CT, hence the notability of the information on the Norwalk, CT page. Thanks for your interest in maintaining Wikipedia.

 * Hi again. Um, actually, I think circulation information (like numbers) would be good for the article, it would help to show notability of the magazine, which forgive me, I have never heard of.  Things seemed a little fishy to me because this account (Stamfordct) had *only* (except for one other edit) added information about the plus magazines.  Also, the Norwalk edit set off bells when the link was to a "coming soon" site - it all seemed a little like promotion to me (making sure the line read *The* magazine for _______ instead of "a" in Norwalk) - I'm not saying that's true, but that is how it came off.  Please expand your article to show it's notability; newspapers like the advocate have a large circulation but not even their own article (not that it couldn't), but could Stamford Plus get by with just a mention on the article?  My vote is still for delete, but conditional on the article's improvement.  TJ0513 01:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. That's fine. I changed the link for Stamford Plus on the Samford, CT page to point directly to stamfordplus.com and this article can probably be deleted at this time.(Stamfordct 04:01, 17 October 2006 (UTC))
 * OK, then would you mine going to Articles for deletion/Stamford Plus magazine and voting for a delete so that a consensus can be shown? Also (for my own personal benefit), I was serious when I said I had never heard of this magazine...do you work for them?  Are you trying to promote the magazine?  What are the current circulation numbers?  TJ0513 00:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
