This trade periodical seems to be a low circulation and non notable trade magazine and a possible vehicle for spam links created by a single purpose account. I can't see what the alleged reference is for, it just looks to me like a random link. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 20:36, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * keep Appears to be the most notable trade publication in its subject. 42,000 readership is high circulation for a specialized periodical like this.  DGG ( talk ) 03:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment "most notable in its subject" does not mean it is notable; comparatives do not do the job. I am more notable than my fellows in my profession, but that does not, of itself, make me notable. In the land of the blind a one eyed man is king, but that does not make him notable. It's a laudable view, but not encyclopaedic without more to assert and verify the notability. Fiddle Faddle (talk)
 * notability is always notability within the subject. we don't judge softball players on how notable they would be if they were playing baseball.  DGG ( talk ) 21:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, kings are notable per WP:POLITICIAN :-) Nyttend (talk) 22:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Whether this is an important or unimportant trade publication is beside the point; I looked and, while I found some references to things that had been published in it, I found no secondary sources that are about this periodical as a subject in its own right.  It would therefore appear not to meet the broadest notability guideline. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
