 * Keep, the magazine has been involved in multiple notable events. It's also referenced in notable publications and Oluwa2Chainz has nominated this for deletion only a few mins after it was created. Karl Twist (talk) 10:23, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you give me valid reasons why you think the magazine passes WP:GNG? This search brings up 0 result about the subject. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 12:49, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Reply to Oluwa2Chainz. Quote - "Can you give me valid reasons why you think the magazine passes WP:GNG?" - Well, the magazine has been involved in some major events both in supporting and covering. In 2013, the magazine covered the Young Designers Rooftop Runway Fashion Show, which was held at the Sky Room Rooftop Lounge at Times Square.* Later that year the magazine had a major role y being instrumental in supporting the Masquerade Art Gala, an event to raise money and awareness for the Freedom Ladder organization which has a role in fighting against the sex trafficking of children etc etc etc. Then there's the mag hosting the Miss Nepal US 2015 fundraiser which was held at the New York Society for Ethical Culture building in NY.* In Sept 2015 they were in partnership with the World Fashion Parade, an event showcasing designs from around the world. The event was The Fashion for Peace show was to promote world peace. They even showcased famous designer Bata Spasojevic's wares. *, * And there's much more which I will talk about later. quote: - "This search brings up 0 result about the subject." - Yes I know. Same thing for Elvis Presley brings up 0 results as does New York Times - . Maybe broken. ??? Karl Twist (talk) 10:48, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. At the time I look at this, there are 13 references. I clicked through 7 of them, and they are all passing mentions (3 others would not load in my browser or were not legible). That is not enough to meet WP:GNG. I read Karl Twist's comment above, and it's very much in line, actually. Seems this magazine has gotten mentioned a variety of times for it's affiliation with various random events, and there are various websites which list or discuss people who have some affiliation with the magazine. But so far no one has provided substantive, independent coverage of the article topic itself. Martinp (talk) 03:10, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. The relevant guideline is Notability (periodicals). I don't see how this magazine fits it. We are not a catalog of magazines or newspapers. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  07:50, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Reply to Priotrus post 07:50, 28 March 2017. Yes Wikipedia is not about cataloging magazines, it's about info which is notable. The fact that this magazine has been able to work with famed designer Bata Spasojević, well known singer and model Radmila Lolly, hosted the Miss Nepal fundraiser as well as being involved with another event in relation to the May 2015 Nepal earthquake, it has attracted attention. It has a following in India and is now written about in Serbian media. It is quite involved in the fashion scene in New York as well. Karl Twist (talk) 10:25, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
