Megami Magazine

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable ecchi bishoujo magazine. Has only around 1,200 subscribers. Harly known in the anime fanbase outside Japan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madison-chan (talk • contribs) 16:21, 14 November 2011‎ (UTC)
 * Keep: It is one of the better known Japanese magazines outside Japan and one of the most accessible thanks to the high number of pull out posters per issue (most I know get it purely for the pretty pictures). Along with NewType it is one of the only monthly Japanese anime-related magazines still available through Diamond Comic Distributors (see ) - a few years back you could also get Animage, Animaga, Animedia, G's Magazine...

 * Comment: Nom appears to be a WP:SPA - their first act upon registering was to create this AFD. Their user page even lampshades this. Shiroi Hane (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep It has 63,475 readers. Its notable.  Click Google news archive search at the top.  Some of those results might be significant.   D r e a m Focus  18:42, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not a SPA. I just want to delete articles. Geez, whatever happened to "don't bite the newcomers"? --Madison-chan (talk) 20:04, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Madison-chan

Also, this magazine has not been significantly covered in reliable sources. The only sources I can find after doing a simple Google search are places selling the magazine like J-list. --Madison-chan (talk) 20:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Madison-chan
 * A proper search shows. Anime News Network shows them mentioned in its news section 114 times.   D r e a m Focus  20:51, 14 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination - Okay, seems pretty notable to me now. The article should be cleaned up and given some more info, though - like its impact on the Anime/Manga industry, reviews of the magazine in places like Mania.com or ANN.com, etc. --Madison-chan (talk) 21:08, 14 November 2011 (UTC)Madison-chan
