Oregon Quarterly

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is about the University of Oregon's alumni magazine. From that perspective, the initial outlook isn't too promising, as we don't generally find alumni magazines notable for stand-alone articles (the category has only 16 non-redirect entries). Looked at as an overall media organization, it does seem to have a plausible claim of significance — its designer states that it's the oldest and most widely circulated publication in the state.

That said, I was unable to find any notability-qualifying source during a WP:BEFORE search, which included its former Old Oregon name. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 01:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect per nominator. The claim of being the oldest and most widely circulated periodical is definitely wrong. The Oregonian is dramatically older and more widely circulated. Maybe they meant just magazines? Either way this could just be a section in university article. The publication doesn't even have a standalone website, it's a subdomain of uoregon.edu.

 * The Oregonian you've linked to is the daily newspaper in Portland. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 18:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, a daily newspaper is also a type of periodical. Steven Walling &bull; talk  06:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
