The Gonzo

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Student publication that hasn't been published in eleven years. Does not meet notability policy since there's no significant coverage and no lasting impact. The article has two references- a dead link and another Wikipedia article- no reliable sources. -- Wikipedical (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, as nominator. --  Wikipedical (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nominator, this is not a significant student mag. Arma virumque cano (talk) 02:45, 24 May 2009 (UTC) This user has since been blocked as a sockpuppet. - ALLST✰R ▼ echo wuz here @ 18:57, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - added another ref, for one - listed by a notable blogger as the first humor zine online - and endorsed by Hunter S. Thompson. Also the source of this meme. DS (talk) 21:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The blogger's quote is: "I believe this was the first college humour magazine published online." One blogger's recollection doesn't mean it's true.  How is that reliable?  Moreover, he continues: "I don't know that they've done much with it since."  Not much- it hasn't been published in eleven years.  --  Wikipedical (talk) 21:32, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Georgetown University. Remember that notability is not temporary. So if it was notable then, it is OK to keep. It certainly succeeded in raising some people's blood pressure:. Article about it in the Washington City Paper:. There's content here well worth saving - merge, don't delete. Fences and windows (talk) 01:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
