The Terrapist
Delete. Student newspaper magazine with only one issue out. --Idont Havaname 06:07, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The Terrapist is actually a magazine. Jussenadv 18:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I changed my nomination based on what you said. However, I'm a senior at UMCP and had never heard of this publication until I saw this article about it.  Wikipedia is not a place for advertising. --Idont Havaname 22:31, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Billbrock 06:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge with University of Maryland. -- JJay 11:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge into University of Maryland. &mdash;gorgan_almighty 14:08, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep this is worth keeping theislandofmoldova 17:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This vote was actually by User:129.2.225.126. --Idont Havaname 17:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Interesting this person changed his/her sig, yet knew how to make one. Counting this one is very questionable. Jussenadv 01:56, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * The front page of WP:AfD says how to make a signature. If you look at the edit history of this page, User:129.2.225.126 made two edits.  One had the correct ~, and in the other, s/he changed the signature to read "theislandofmoldova". --Idont Havaname 03:56, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is not a vote it is a discussion, so it really doesn't matter. The post in question didn't say anything useful so will likely be ignored anyway. &mdash;gorgan_almighty 11:47, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep or merge with University of Maryland.  Since this is in fact a magazine, it's reasonable that only one issue has come out.  However, that may not be justification for an independent article, in which case I think The Terrapist should be merged. Jussenadv 18:11, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Flyboy Will 21:23, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Looked at the magazine. Seems like it has the potential to run for awhile.  Note, all the articles in that category seem pretty poor, this one actually seems to be the most extensive. Qoforensics 01:13, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 11:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Yes, this magazine has only run one issue with a small circulation, but it will continue on, and it does exist--and if the Harvard Lampoon, Dartmouth Jack O'Lantern, Princeton Tiger, Stanford Chaparral, etc. have pages on Wikipedia, why can't the Terrapist? 68.48.86.63 15:50, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if it has the potential to run for a while, Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball and it's not a place for advertising.  Once it becomes noteworthy, that's when we should have an article on it.  For now, it's not, and we shouldn't. —Cleared as filed. 06:04, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
