Fuse Magazine

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable magazine, no substantial Google or Google News hits. (Note that there are now, and have been in the past, quite a few different magazines named Fuse, so you have to be sure to which one any particular source refers.) TransporterMan  ( TALK ) 20:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

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

 * Comment. GBooks does turn up a substantial number of references to this long-lived Canadian arts journal in other publications.  Many of them are only viewable as snippets so it's hard to know exactly what they say about the publication, but among them are some that might suggest hints of significance.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:10, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This one is tough. I am well-acquainted with Fuse (full disclosure: I've been published in Fuse). I know it's notable as a publication but there's not a great deal out there that can establish it. They are especially significant for what they have published; there's an important legacy here of articles about Canadian and international art, and a great deal have been republished in anthologies. I realize that this in and of itself does not necessarily establish notability. However, I do believe that a number of the sources provided by Arxiloxos help to point towards notability. At least a couple of them are more than trivial. As well, chapter 13 of the book Policy Matters: Administration of Art and Culture by Clive Robertson (Toronto: YYZ Artist's Outlet, 2006. ISBN 0-920397-36-0) is about Fuse in its entirety (pages 223-260). I think this chapter supported by some mentioned above establishes notability enough to make this a keep. I suspect there may be other significant sources available but this is what I found so far. Failing that, I'd ask that the closing admin, if this is deleted, userfies this for me and I'll try to recreate it with expanded sources.  freshacconci  talk talk  02:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I've also found quite a bit on ProQuest which has an extensive Canadian periodical database. There's a number of sources I found in newspapers and journals, none of which I can link to as I found it through a university library catalogue. If there's time, I will try to expand the article a bit and add some of these sources.  freshacconci  talk talk  03:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
