Accenti Magazine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Reason was "That something exists does not make it notable, and no notability has been asserted, nor has it been verified in reliable sources. Without these items it may not remain here as an article." Fiddle  Faddle  20:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "no notability has been asserted"? Do you expect the article to explicitly say "Accenti Magazine has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"? No article does that, and this "assertion of notability" trope has no basis in Wikipedia policy, so please stop repeating it every time you propose an article for deletion. What counts is whether a topic is actually notable. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:54, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Initial sourcing to pass WP:GNG doesn't look good. Magazine's are hard enough to source, and this is a specialized one, so it's even harder to find reliable secondary sources. We can say that magazine is "an English-language, upscale publication aimed at the 1.5 million Italian Canadians across the country and italophiles in Canada and all over the world". The website ranks 41k in Canada. The Canadian government invested in it (and many other magazines). A writing and photo contest has mentions eg. I don't think this is enough to pass WP:GNG. Perhaps the article creator has more information about newspaper, TV and magazine articles that have been written about Accenti Magazine to help it pass WP:GNG. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I really don't want to nominate this article, it could be notable. Unfortunately I can't find anything on it. There is a Facebook page, with 378 links. Apart from that there is the site, and nothing else, except Facebook. It all points back to the site, with no third party sources. scope_creep talk 21:57 12 October 2013 (UTC)
