I don't think this meets WP:GNG, especially the "significant coverage" part. The only reference is an obituary in which the magazine is referenced in one paragraph.<"Murdaland: Dark Tales For Tawdry Times"> gives me 36 ghits with no reliable sources to be found and  gives me ~3,000 hits, which is better, but it's a lot of blog posts and false positives. From my research, I don't think there's enough sources available to establish notability on this magazine. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:10, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment: Murdaland could be a plausible search for Murderland, so a redirection there is also a possibility. -- Tavix ( talk ) 14:13, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete The only results on a Google search are either promotional links to the Murdaland website/ its Facebook page/ similar non-independent sources, or are mirrors of this Wikipedia article. No independent evidence of notability detectable on any terms.  KDS 4444  Talk  05:20, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect to publisher Cortright McMeel (yes, McMeel article needs work but he is notable ie. - some Short reviews.  This magazine although only two issues, appears to have quite a cult following from the number of blogs etc I looked at from a google search (stopped after 1st 150 pages:)), so there will probably be some readers who will look for it.  I did find this, an interview with him in which he says "Murdaland is something I’m very proud of." but not enough for notability. Coolabahapple (talk) 17:46, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
