Red-Herring

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This magazine does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NPERIODICAL. My search on Google, Google Books, and Newspapers.com does not turn up any significant coverage of the magazine. If this WorldCat entry is accurate, it is only held by a single library, and it does not appear to be particularly influential or widely cited. There may be some sources I am missing, as this is an older periodical, so I'd like get input from other editors. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: In general I like the idea of broad coverage of projects. In this case, the Art & Language article includes some material on the preceding The Fox journal but not Red-Herring. That said, aside from this brief mention, I am not finding much which might justify a merge. AllyD (talk) 08:15, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Red herring as a plausible search term.—S Marshall T/C 12:13, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Not really. Do you think someone searching for the idiom is going to capitalize the second word and put a hyphen between them? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 14:41, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah, there's a proportion of end users who're terrible at English. Most Wikipedians are accurate with their spelling and capitalization, and in discussions, we're mostly talking to other Wikipedians: people who've self-selected as editors.  But we have to consider the full spectrum of end users, bearing in mind that the fact that they're searching for a commonplace English idiom suggests that English may not be their first language.—S Marshall T/C 16:17, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - not enough in-depth coverage to show it passes WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:27, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
