Fortnightly Review

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Abandoned by its creator, and there's insufficient information about its notability. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 06:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep So notable even I have heard of it! Article is completely insufficient, but The Fortnightly Review was published for nearly 90 years and has articles in the Encyclopedia Britannica (15th ed), The Oxford Companion to English Literature (4th Ed) and the Cambridge Guide to Literature in English, and I've only the checked books on the bookshelf near my computer.

 * Keep I didn't even reach for the bookshelf, I just found several sources by Google Books; picked the easiest-reading one since I'm no expert in this area (e.g. none of the names ring any bells with me, I have to look them all up) and started expanding it a bit. cab 08:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a famous literary magazine, founded by like some old writer type dude name of Anthony Trollope among others, and notable even if it does date from the dim and distant days before Nintendo and reality TV. It published 3 novels by Trollope in serial form, 2 by George Meredith and poets ranging from Algernon Swinburne and Rossetti to Yeats and Pound. The article's been expanded now.

 * Keep. Abandoned or not, there's more than enough here already to underwrite the magazine's notability. Ach, die Jugend von heute! BTLizard 14:21, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
