While as a magazine and one that has been mentioned at the other articles (see "what links here"), I can't find any good sources (News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary) to improve the article aside from here and here. The first nomination had keep votes saying it was notable but without good sources, I can't see any improvememt and at best the article could be shortened again to a few sentences or so (this article could also not be moved to Ngee Ann as it's not exactly connected to it, simply the former students).

 * Delete No evidence whatsoever of notability, and no reason to expect any. In fact, it doesn't even claim anything except very local importance: " one of the most often refreshed youth e-zinea in Singapore" is not the same as "most important..." or "most widely read ..." .  I would certainly support a change in our guidelines to permit--even require-- an article for anything used as a RS in WP, but I do not see how this is even a RS.
