List of contributors to The New Criterion

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

This magazine is obviously notable, but it would be impossible to maintain a list of contributors. This is a monthly magazine that has been around for 26 years, and the example cover has 17 different authors. So that's a list of ~5304 authors (if there were no repeats). This is just an impossible and unmanageable list to maintain. Mangostar (talk) 00:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Indiscriminate information and a sea of red links. As the nom states, thousands of people have contributed to this mag, but they don't need to be listed. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I've hated this article for several months now.  It's an invitational dumping ground for WP:AUTO. Qworty (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
