Decanter (magazine)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't seem to find notability. I searched through google but a considerable number of search results only showed standard pages associated with magazines (i.e. subscription offers). Couldn't find anything independent, reliable, significant etc. It did have considerably more content 3 years back that was non neutral/COI in nature https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decanter_(magazine)&oldid=545263043 which was subsequently removed. On top of the perceived lack of notability, the article is very short of useful info and sources (the 3 sources also being primary). Rayman60 (talk) 00:26, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete yeah, a promotional article that got cleaned up and there's nothing left after the cleanup - David Gerard (talk) 07:24, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, I just expanded the article. Among other things, the magazine has been described as " "arguably the most influential wine periodical in the world" (Wine Wars by Mike Veseth, Rowman & Littlefield), or "one of the world's leading wine magazines" (Wine Marketing: A Practical Guide by Colin Michael Hall and Richard Mitchell, Routledge) and its website as well is "widely recognized as a leading online wine magazine" (Wine Brands: Success Strategies for New Markets, New Consumers and New Trends by Evelyne Resnick, Springer Publishing). Clearly notable (and authorative) in its field. Cavarrone 09:51, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep -- in addition to above listed sources, this presents WP:SIGCOV on the subject: Wine Brands: Success Strategies for New Markets, New Consumers and New Trends by Evelyne Resnick. The book is published by Palgrave Macmillan so it does appear to be RS. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:57, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - Initially I just saw a lot of self-referenced, unverifiable claims of its position within the wine world. I'm satisfied it now meets notability and the article is looking better.Rayman60 (talk) 18:08, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
