 * AfD is not a vote. I don't think it matters whether or not the article is well-written; what's your rationale for wanting the article to remain on WP? -- Kicking222 02:07, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Since I'm commenting here, you may assume I disagree with the nominator; I think it's notable and worthy of an article. AfD is not a vote.  What's your rationale for wanting to delete the article?  Un  focused  09:08, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep this article. As a nationally-distributed publication, listed in various price guides, I think notability has been established. As far as sourcing, the author has cited a major radio news report, interviews with the creators of the magazine, and other online resources.--Impglein 12:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I remember this book. They sold it in comic book stores. They also talked about it in a course I had in college called "Ethics and Laws of Mass Communication". The content apparently caused some kind of furor throughout New Jersey.

Keep this article. It is sourced well enough, and the author has demonstrated his willingness to continue his contributions to this entry. Anything But Monday must have had enough of an impact on Americana if a "soon to be famous" pop band has assumed the publication's name over 20 years later.

Not sure what the objection to this article is. The author HAS established notability with the links that point to the magazine’s inclusion in various comic book guides and databases. This makes it at least as notable as other lesser-known comics (of which there are many that have articles in Wikipedia.) As to sourcing, besides the comic itself, the author has included an audio news report as well as links to podcasts that discuss the publication. That being said, I do see a few instances where citations are needed. (The reference to the creators of Anything But Monday having worked for MTV, for example.) But those parts should be flagged "citation needed" or edited out of the article rather than deleting the whole article itself.12.193.56.130 20:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
