Non-notable magazine - fails WP:N ukexpat (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Fails WP:SOURCES by having none (and, as there are no sources, the rest must be WP:OR). Does not assert notability. --  JediLofty Talk to meFollow me 15:30, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: Ummm. There's a San Francisco Chronicle piece about the magazine in the article; that and the company's website wouldn't strike me as "no" sources.  "International Living" + magazine returns over 82,000 hits, and not soft ones, either ... I gave up once I passed six hundred unique hits.  The magazine itself is listed in the top 750 of Amazon's best selling mags, and in the top fifty of travel mags.  There are 314 Google News hits, turning up articles in the Miami Herald, the Dallas Morning News, the Toronto Star and many others.  All this took me about three minutes.

 * Keep Per RGTraynor.John Z (talk) 17:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per notability evidence cited by RGTraynor above. I created this as a stub and admittedly the article has not really improved since then but articles needing improvement is listed at the top of Articles_for_deletion as not a reason for deletion.

 * Keep a quick Google news archive search shows that this magazine is almost certainly notable. RMHED (talk) 21:30, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
