Entrepreneur India Magazine

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I can't find any sources discussing this publication and so I do not believe that it is notable. I don't think there's a notability guideline for magazines, but WP:NBOOKS can be used as a general comparison, and those criteria are not met. I am also concerned that the long "Awards" section is used as a way to promote those people (one prolific serial spammer of Wikipedia is mentioned in the section with a link to his website) when the awards themselves do not appear to be at all notable. There is no source for the claim that the magazine's awards are "[India's] most prestigious awards in the Entrepreneur area", and I very much doubt the veracity of that statement. bonadea contributions talk 11:35, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment Four references have been added (actually five, but one was to a Wikipedia article, so I removed that and added a Wikilink instead). This one is a brief bio of the editor-in-chief and, interestingly, does not mention this magazine at all; this one is about the Entrepreneur India awards, and again doesn't mention the magazine; this is a list of award winners, from the magazine itself (primary source) ; and the last one is about one of the winners, and it mentions the award but not the magazine.  So there is really no indication at all that the magazine is notable. --bonadea contributions talk 14:32, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. I just have removed the ridiculously long list of awards and awardees. WP is not a web hosting service... I fully agree with Bonadea's analysis of the references. Those that are independent are just in-passing mentions. One of them reads like a news release and one other is a portrait of an awardee in some vanity journal. In addition, I can't even figure out what exactly the name of this publication is, their website is rather confusing about it. Given the lack of reliable sources, that's irrelevant, though. --Randykitty (talk) 17:06, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - 2 References Added. Preeti Sharma&#39;s Knowledge (talk) 18:39, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment More press releases. One is about the "Small Medium Entrepreneur", which is an alternate name of the magazine (??) --Randykitty (talk) 18:44, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - Yes Randykitty, the magazine have the alternate name as well. Preeti Sharma&#39;s Knowledge (talk) 18:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete The article looks stud to me. Moreover google search does not adds any value to this article proving it's notability. It looks a piece of advertisement of an unpopular magazine. Dormantos (talk) 12:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: This newly registered account has left the very similar deletion rationales (almost every one a "strong delete") on dozens of AfDs in rapid fashion. Likely he did not read any of the articles (one he said fails "BLP" was a company, for example). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:39, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
