Direct Selling News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's no significant coverage of this publication beyond passing mentions. The third-party sources are attempts at generalizing from example and don't cover Direct Selling News itself in any detail. Huon (talk) 23:52, 15 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It's an industry trade publication, we're not talking TIME or Forbes here. I believe there are ample sources provided. Further, the sources are not attempts at generalization, there are numerous sources that utilize Direct Selling News when covering the industry, especially with regards to company size and growth.


 * A quick perusal of the Trade Magazine Stubs page showed 228 entries, the vast majority of which were significantly less robust. Virgil06 (talk) 00:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * So is that a keep vote? SwisterTwister   talk  06:23, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Not sure but somewhat leaning delete when I saw mostly press releases here with other searches finding results here, here and here (mostly press releases in the last one). Sources say this is "largest trade publication in its industry" and has achived "Top 100" and such so I'm not sure if it makes it notable in its industry or marginally notable.
