Mega Rock Music Magazine

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I can't find any evidence that this magazine is or was ever notable, perhaps its an issue with the common name but I can't find any sources beyond what I removed because they were all WP:COPYVIOELs of images of the magazine, so nothing of value was lost even by removing them...

 * Delete: I was a teenager in the UK in the 1980s, and I've never even heard of this magazine. It appears to have been a monthly publication, with each issue focusing solely on one artist and their associated acts, and consisting mostly of a giant fold-out poster, with bits of trivia and gossip about the artist. Definitely aimed more at "fan club" level rather than any serious music publication like NME, Melody Maker, Sounds or Record Mirror. Edit: I've just seen the edit history of this article, and I'm 99% certain I know now who the temporarily-blocked article creator is. Richard3120 (talk) 20:01, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * as in a sock or IRL? Also I did a lot of searching for this magazine and the only thing I can find is the ISSN and ebay...doesn't look like it was ever much of anything. CUPIDICAE💕  20:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Almost certainly yet another sock of one of Wikipedia's most prolific sockers. Going to check their edit history for comparisons. Richard3120 (talk) 20:06, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Interesting, I assumed based on their rapid fire reverting of the AFD template they had to be new! Maybe I'm giving sock masters too much credit. CUPIDICAE💕  20:08, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm now 99.9% certain, and the article's other editor, Travishill4634, will be the same person as well. Going to open up an SPI. Richard3120 (talk) 20:11, 3 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete and Salt sock editor trying to create article about a non notable magazine that I'm sure if was allowed, he would then say that's proof to continue his disruptive editing about some boy band. NZFC  (talk) (cont)  06:55, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Update: the two editors who created content for this page are confirmed as socks of each other, at least. Richard3120 (talk) 13:29, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V and WP:OR. Unreferenced articles are original research, no matter how much this meant to you as a teenager. Bearian (talk) 16:03, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
