The Post Card

 * – ( View AfD View log  Post Card Stats )

The article is on a Bengali little magazine, I have searched in Google (English and Bengali) but can not find many sources writing about this journal. According to the article the journal started publishing in 2012. Since this is not that old, I hoped to see more reliable sources. They have added a wordpress blog as official site. The others sources, , are not relevant to this magazine. In short, I am unsure if it is a notable magazine! Leela Bratee (contact) 02:44, 01 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Well the nominator Leelabratee removed the AFD header off the article, so perhaps they are not intending to nominate this for deletion. I thought this was worth keeping due to its claim of bing the largest quarterly. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:04, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The claim of being the largest is sourced only to the publication's own entry in a business directly, which uses the same text as this article, indicating an element of WP:COPYVIO (though not covering the chunk of Marxism-for-beginners text further down the article) and certainly not independently verified evidence of notability.

 * What is happening here?: They have copied and pasted my deletion rationale from here: Articles for deletion/Shonkhobash --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 14:11, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I guess possibly a nominator not familiar with procedure? It wasn't a wholesale copy, as the rationale here has content specific to this article. But the relist and list-inclusions were copied and are misleading: I have deleted them above, making it clear that this is a new listing not a relist. AllyD (talk) 16:04, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Here they changed my rationale and updated Facebook like number! He has copied my and another user's user-pages too. In case you are an admin and think that copyvio and impersonation/incorrect information are not very serious and can be excused for this time, you can revert their recent edits and close the MFD (see his user page). I'll offer him some help. --Tito Dutta (talk • contributions • email) 16:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. Fails WP:GNG. Directories aren't reliable sources, as they're essentially user submitted. The remaining sources aren't even about the subject. I'm calling this one a WP:HOAX: the "largest circulating Bangla quarterly magazine" is hosted at Blogspot and their official contact is a Gmail address? Highly unlikely.

 * Delete No reliable 3rd party source found to support any claim to notability, though I am unable to check for Bengali-language sources. Fails general notability guidelines (though I am happy to revise that view if anyone locates reliable sources, whether in Bengali or any other language). AllyD (talk) 09:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - While I am not sure about it being a hoax, it definitely doesn't back up its claims and there is enough concern that this doesn't meet GNG. I couldn't find any reliable sources, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm also concerned about the blogspot and gmail address contacts. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 02:27, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
