Irked Magazine

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable website. Reliable sources not listed and none found. I am unable to verify the claims in the History section, especially the claims to features in the Montreal Gazette and The Coast.  TN ‑  X   - Man  14:30, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The references to the two articles have been added, they were available on the Irked Magazine Media Coverage page as PDFs of the original newspaper articles. Sources have now been cited as well. This is a notable Canadian online magazine, devoted to disability culture. Underthesea26, 15:05, 6 November 2008 (GMT)


 * Weak Keep The Montreal Gazette article at least provides one non-trivial example of coverage in a reliable secondary source, although the other citations are considerably weaker. Saying keep since technically The Coast article probably conforms to the guidelines of reliable sources since it has a wikipedia article of it's own although to be honest a very weak one that's teetering on the edge of an AfD itself.  One strong source with a couple of weaker ones at least implies sources exist, but this is very much right on the line.  I strongly recommend the editors of this article find better sources. -Markeer 15:25, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Gazette article establishs notability, no reason to ignore the usual standard. Wily D 15:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - the article could use some cleanup but notability is established, especially with the Gazette. -- Whpq (talk) 17:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
