Arkansas Vibe

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable magazine. Article is written like an advertisement, and there is an obvious conflict of interest with the main contributor. CyberGhostface (talk) 16:04, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I prodded the article for the reasons above, though my prod was removed, and I still think that it is written as an advertisement, and that the magazine's notability is not clear. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment this listing was not wrote to be an advertisement. Just a "about me" type article. we used many other magazine wiki's as a base for the format of the article is wrote. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_magazine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Us_Magazine please help me to understand the difference. besides ArkansasViBE is newer and not as established. I am more than willing to make changes to make it conform to guidelines if it currently does not. Arkansas Vibe (talk) 19:16, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Whether or not you meant it to be advertising, writing about yourself or something that you are associated with still constitutes as conflict of interest. And as you yourself stated, "ArkansasViBE is newer and not as established". That's pretty much an indication that it's not notable enough for inclusion here.--CyberGhostface (talk) 21:22, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Definitely non-notable, with really unimpressive numbers cited in the article and random trivia (one of the advertisers is a car dealership? so what?) Per the above, there also appear ro be advertising / COI issues here.  Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
