Speedy deletion nomination of DEAR DAVE, Magazine
Hello Trm2,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged DEAR DAVE, Magazine for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 19:38, 2 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've seen your message, but it will probably be tomorrow before I get time to answer in detail Jimfbleak - talk to me?  17:50, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, so many problems
 * Although not a reason for deletion, your title was incorrectly capitalised, should be "Dear Dave (magazine)"
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. You had no references, and there was no claim of notability in the text, although you did give an unverified circulation claim in the infobox.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of spammy unsourced claims presented as fact include: It celebrates... with affection and humor, and publishes idiosyncratic and original work that is deserving of further recognition... is interested in the most unpredictable work of all genres and sensibilities.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. This is particularly so when they are spamlinks to the magazine and its founder
 * You have an unsourced list of supposedly notable contributors, but no referenced indication of what they contributed. In any case, the fact that they may be notable doesn't transfer to your magazine and looks spammy
 * You have an unsourced list of events which seem to consist of non-notable people talking to other non-notable people. No indication of why this is significant

Basically, the article is unsourced, promotional, and has no worthwhile content Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
