My WP:BEFORE search on this folded karate magazine was unable to turn up any references other than references from its own publisher. Wolfson5 (talk) 21:12, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete a magazine which never achieved notability. WP:PUBLISHER was a failed proposal, but I agree with the criteria: A publisher is notable if they have published a notable individual publication or a series of publications that are collectively notable. Reviews of publications count towards the notability of the publisher. We should develop that proposal so that we have more guidance. But I digress. The magazine was not notable.

 * Keep Unless I am missing something there are references to be found very easily. I found the following without trying:

 * https://seishinjuku.com/blitz-magazine-feature-article-kaicho-watanabe/
 * https://www.usadojo.com/blitz-magazine/
 * https://etana.com.au/about/founder-mick-nicholls/

 * no longer published but back issues still available it seems:

 * The above are by no means earth shattering, but given that I found these in less than a minute it would seem that there will be sufficient to write more than a stub article? Aoziwe (talk) 11:01, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Are these WP:RS? Wolfson5 (talk) 05:44, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Missvain (talk) 17:04, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The references listed above do not meet WP:GNG because they are primarily about martial artists that have received awards or coverage by the magazine. That is not "significant independent coverage" of the magazine itself.  Those are passing mentions of it. Papaursa (talk) 18:33, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither the article nor the sources mentioned above provide significant independent coverage of this defunct magazine. A few passing mentions do not meet the GNG.Sandals1 (talk) 17:34, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete lacking reliable sources that are independent. LibStar (talk) 16:10, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
