Fiction Magazine (Karachi)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of notability of this Urdu-language children's magazine. The Urdu title فکشن میگزین

Google finds very little with most sources originating from Wikipedia. Green Cardamom (talk) 20:07, 3 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I just received your message about the deletion of this article.You are right that there is very little source available on internet about it and google also finds it hard to search it.Sir,just consider these articles
 * Amali Science
 * Phool (magazine)
 * Taleem-o-Tarbiat
 * Hamdard Naunehal


 * They are the top class magazines in Pakistan but they don't have any reliable source.It might be due to fact that Pakistan is too far behind in technology.So I disagree to nominate this article for deletion.--Usman Khalil 12:25, 4 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usman Khalil (talk • contribs)
 * Hi. Can you help find reliable sources?  It is not enough that other articles exist.  Which may be deleted. Some of those are already tagged for lacking notability.  Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 14:55, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Usman Khalil, I took into consideration that Pakistan sources are more difficult so searched in Urdu with no luck including within *.pk. I also noticed the magazine had no web presence or domain name, and the only contact information was a single @yahoo.com address. This evidence added up to think it was a very small magazine that was probably not notable. Of course you are right there may be nothing online due to lack of technology. I don't know how to respond other than in this day and age any notable media publication would have some information online, for example Phool (magazine) has its own website. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:40, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. No evidence of wp notability.  Lacks RS coverage -- as everyone agrees.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:52, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Not a single independent source. With the magazine not even being online, we even run into difficulties verifying the info in the article (I know that something doesn't need to be online to be notable or used as a source, but this is rather extreme, I'd say). --Randykitty (talk) 10:34, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
