 * Keep. It is a mainstream magazine launched by a well known publisher/editor.  Third party sources have been added, and as it is a new magazine, these sources can reasonably be expected to grow in number. This magazine is also widely available in the UK, and already as a circulation (sourced in article) that beats some other magazines (such as SFX. A similar prod was discussed for sister magazine Death Ray, the result was keep. There isn't any need to delete this article, it can and will be improved and added to as time goes on. At the very least, a merge and redirect to Blackfish Publishing would be better than outright deletion, then at least the page could be recovered if/when notability is less controversial. magnius (talk) 12:26, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Blackfish Publishing. The only workable source cited is this from the local paper of the town in which they're based. As user:Enric Naval has well-put the point, "local news sources are, well, local ... [and] tend to cover local stuff by saying how inmensely good it is and how innovative it is, with no perspective of how small their local world is in relation to the global thing...." Of course, this is a new magazine, so we perhaps wouldn't expect it to be notable yet. It may go on to great and glorious things, in which case see WP:RECREATE, but for now, see WP:CRYSTAL. A merge and redirect reflects its status today while leaving ample room for an unmerge to reflect changed notability if the magazine prospers. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 16:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Does the fact that this official website for the film Soul Power has chosen to quote the magazine (in reviews section) help its notability? magnius (talk) 23:08, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
