Gatehouse Gazette

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously deleted due to lack of sources. Recreated twice now by the same author,, already G4'd once, I think it still fails that test. All the references appear to be blogs or directories. I see no coverage of this publication in reliable independent secondary sources. This is unsurprising since it's a niche publication which is only on issue 8. That also explains why the article appears to be mainly written from original observation of the source material. Advertorial in tone and includes descriptions of the content of early issues, which I suppose is understandable since there are only 8 issues all told anyway.

 * Keep (Following copied from the article's talk page in reference to notability.) While I very much realize that certainly not all of the references listed meet wikipedia's requirements for reliable, secondary sources, I do believe some are of note while others should not be outright dismissed, for they serve as references to quotes. Of particular interest are the links and features from Camarilla, Il ReteGiornale, [MINE] (their website seems down but the same entry can be read here), Chris Roberson and Hallows Eve Designs. Those are not all "blogs or directories". Ottens (talk) 20:19, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Ottens, your website is http://www.ottens.co.uk/ and the centre link on the site is to The Gatehouse - http://www.ottens.co.uk/gatehouse/gazette. Are you associated with Gatehouse Gazette? Given that you have now created the article three times and no other editor has ever added anything other than deletion tags. Guy (Help!) 07:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
