 * Comment, this is actually the first nomination of this article. --Pixelface (talk) 15:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - obviously real, audited circulation 25,000, which makes it not insignificant for a business trade publication. There's no encyclopedic purpose to deleting these kinds of articles.  Independent sourcing is not a very useful notability standard for trade publications but no doubt there are some.

 * Full disclosure: I wrote this article back in 2005, when both my own sense of and Wikipedia's articulation of notability were not as well-developed as they are now. If I were creating an article today, however, I'd probably just describe it in the article on its publisher, which is in pretty sore need of expansion itself anyway. Redirect to Laurentian Media Group. Bearcat (talk) 21:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. GreenJoe 21:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Laurentian Media Group. Double Blue  (Talk) 21:46, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I also support the merge to Laurentian Media Group. That article should be expanded with information on their other publications as well. Also note that this isn't a "small local trade magazine", it covers all of Northern Ontario.  vıd ıoman  00:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
