Eclectic Northeast

Delete or Redirect to Tanushree Hazarika: This article appears to have been created by a representative of the magazine, and does not make it clear whether the magazine meets the notability criteria. No independent coverage in reliable sources to support WP:GNG and no indication of passing WP:NMEDIA. Article recreated using different title after the speedy-deletion of a version (Eclectic Northeast Magazine) which was blatant advertising. GSS (talk |c|em ) 08:10, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

This magazine is quite notable and is similar in circulatin and content to The Northeast Today, in fact the page of Eclectic Northeast Magazine was not so much advertising as The Northeast Today. It is suspected that people against the magazine are asking for its deletion. This page should be up and more links. Kangla Online, the leading newspaper of a state in Assam : Manipur, has a source on Eclectic - http://kanglaonline.com/2015/11/eclectic-northeast-celebrates-its-9th-anniversary/. Even Chief minister of Assam, Mary Kom released the magazine http://www.manipur.org/news/2012/11/19/chief-minister-of-assam-shri-tarun-gogoi-and-olympic-champion-m-c-mary-kom-releases-eclectic-northeast-magazine/ Northeast India has a huge but neglected population. Mainstream media doesn't cover this are so much and deletion of an important magazine entry from wikipedia from the region should not be allowed. There is no reference of blatant advertising like as in The Northeast today. Notability: The above picture shows that a 15 year reigning Chief Minister of a state, his son and also an Olympic Silver Medalist is launching the magazine and still it is being considered Non-Notable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gauravjaina (talk • contribs) 08:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Gauravjaina (talk • contribs) appears to have a close connection with the subject of the article being discussed.


 * kanglaonline.com is a press release about subject celebrating its 9th anniversary and press release are not considered independent. I don't see if manipur.org is a reliable source. Your comment at SPI ManaliJain88 confirmed that you know the author (ManaliJain88) personally and as per the selection of your articles it looks like you and ManaliJain88 have conflict of interest in this and other articles. As per our policies at what Wikipedia is not you should not use Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Thank you – GSS (talk |c|em ) 14:31, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

KEEP THE ARTICLE  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The article "Eclectic Northeast" has been edited to give it more referenced links rather than random ones.The article should not be deleted because the magazine is a well deserved magazine of the region. There is a need for such magazine to keep people aware of the issues of their own region. So, people should know about the magazine to know about the region. There might not be many notable references to the article but there are a few of them which are notable enough to support the article.

 * Delete as non-notable. This isn't a criticism of the magazine, or how "good" it is. It's just not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Ifnord (talk) 16:45, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep after expanding the sources listed it is seen that all are reliable references. I think it should not be deleted. I has no material to promote the subject, is a news magazine. You may look at other magazine articles and see that there are many many magazine articles with the same or similar significance level with that one. Thanks.  --Egeymi (talk) 08:21, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Other stuff exists is not a good argument at AfD, Articles should be judged on their own merits: there are other articles like this one, and each of them can be challenged on its own and deleted so just because other stuff exists doesn't necessarily mean that this article should exist as well. It also to be noted that the article was recreated to promote the subject by a user with conflict of intrest and Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion and as per our general notability guideline The topic must received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and I don't see any for this magazine.

 * Delete on the merits. The sources provided don't seem to demonstrate enough notability to meet our criteria. The magazine exists - which is good as far as it goes - but that doesn't mean it's notable. Though it's a concern, I don't think the article could be kept even absent concerns about COI.
