USA Today (magazine)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources (?) beyond cursory directory listings and a brief NYT blurb. Best known for sharing its name with the better known news operation. Apparently its parent "Society for the Advancement of Education" exists solely to publish the occasional magazine. czar 15:11, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. While obviously not as prominent as the newspaper of the same name, the magazine is held by something like 1,800 libraries, is indexed by the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, and has a history dating back over 100 years under its former names Intellect and School & Society. I would give it the benefit of the doubt as to notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:38, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It's been around for a long time, but it doesn't mean we have any extant sources with which to write about it (the general notability guideline). If it helps, according to Ulrich's, ISSN 0161-7389 was published as School and Society 0036-6455 until 1972 and as Intellect 0149-0095 until 1978, whereupon I suppose it became USA Today. Those older incarnations might have mattered much more and even possibly had an affiliation with Educational Review ISSN 0190-4191 between 1891 and 1928 (did the periodical spin out in 1915?) But especially as USA Today, I'm not sure how this paper inherits that history with little to nothing to say about it. czar  05:26, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep: The article needs more citations in order for this article to be kept alive. It is a newspaper that is not related to the more famous USA Today. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 14:20, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
 * We don't have a single secondary source right now... czar  19:12, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
