Funoon
This page fails WP:WEB. It has an Alexa ranking of ~4.5 million and most of the results on Google are for people names Funnon. --Supermath 03:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment- As far as I can tell, nothing in the article indicates that this journal even has a website, so I don't see how WP:WEB is relevant. However, the article about the journal's publisher spells this "Fanoon" and I'm convinced that both are probably problematic transliterations from Urdu.  It certainly claims notability; I'd like to see some references that actually establish that notability. Geoffrey Spear 19:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep- I tracked down a solid reference in English and added it to the article; this is clearly a notable publication in the Urdu-speaking literary world Geoffrey Spear 23:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Geoffrey. I could track down a few more Pakistani newspapers and websites refering to the journal as a prestigious literary journal -, , , . A thing to note may be that the paper was started in 1962 and is located in a part of the world where not having a website is not a big deal and may not signify anything. - Aksi_great (talk) 12:40, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
