Mad doctor who magazine

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

Web-based fanzine, seems not to meet WP:WEB criteria, no links to third-party coverage by reliable sources given. A quick search for mainstream media coverage finds nothing. The Anome (talk) 21:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Author is clearly related to the "publication" and has made articles about himself and (if I recall correctly) his "magazine" in the past. This is more COI and self-promotion. He can probably be blocked for having an improper username. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: What improper username might that be?   RGTraynor  07:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * He is called "Mdwm" which is clearly the initials of "Mad doctor who magazine". This breaks the rule of not naming users after products or organisations. Of course, if he hadn't tried to promote his product then we would probably never have noticed and it wouldn't have done any harm, but he did, and he hasn't contributed to anything else on Wikipedia, even the extensive range of Doctor Who articles which you would think he would have an interest in, which makes me think the account exists purely for promotional purposes. --DanielRigal (talk) 08:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
