 * Weak delete. Article mentions several points of notability (oldest of its kind, notable in its geo/genre, etc). But the only references listed are the mag's own websites. It's hard to google this kind of thing, since the title is a common English expression...probably need someone who knows something about the industry or the mag to find any shred of third-party information. Any such ref would put me at a clear "keep". DMacks 07:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. In its current state, this is a clear delete. Spurious claims to notability backed up by exactly zero references. I would consider changing my vote if the article improved by the end of the AfD. A Train take the 19:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lack of references is a reason to add references. A Google search for ``"good times magazine" +music  brings us external references here and here and here from just the first couple of pages at Google, to address the issue of notability. Note that these links are not references about'' this magazine, but their existence speaks to the respect the magazine has within its own industry.  One rarely sees articles written about news magazines.  I'll poke a friend of mine in the music industry and see if more details can be scrounged.  Please feel free to do your own research, too.    ◉ ghoti  07:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Surely you jest. Have you actually looked at those links that you pulled out? Even if those weren't just obscure fan sites and commercial sites, your reasoning is flawed. Remember that the criterion for notability states: a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works. "Good Times Magazine" is not the subject of any of the links you pulled out. An encyclopedia is a tertiary source, and It is not incumbent upon me, the AfD voter, to do extensive research to save a dubious article; I've got my own research to do.
