My speedy tag was removed. Being founder and publisher of non-notable publications does not make one notable. Corvus cornix talk  06:24, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Though article has references, they don't appear to be reliable. --Jayron32. talk . contribs  06:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete References are... self-referential. Everything discussed is small-scale. Simply not notable. -- Auto (talk / contribs) 06:30, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep References are reliable and factual. "Small-scale" is an inaccurate assumption; "non-notable" is an opinion formulated only due to unawareness. Publishes one of the largest remaining independent arts/lit/music magazines in the United States (Verbicide) with an annual circulation of 100,000 total copies. Ellis and Verbicide received national coverage in an article picked up by the AP wire in May 2007 as a vocal apponent to the the United States Postal Service rate hike (http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/2007-05-24/music/sending-out-an-s-o-s/full).  --Bathysphere22 (talk) 06:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Literary magazines and small presses are inherently small-scale, but that does not mean they are unimportant. We could probably justify an article on the magazine as well. DGG (talk) 03:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete lack of reliable coverage to verify notability; some references come from closely affiliated websites (i.e not independent sources), others are only trivial mentions. Whether the magazines are notable or not is of no importance; even if they are notable, that fact alone wouldn't automatically justify the notability of the subject. --PeaceNT (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
