Universal Magazine Code

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

After a bit of googling, I am concluding that this is only a product code of magazine distributor Contrix/Magazine Agent http://www.magazine-agent.com/ (Special:LinkSearch/www.magazine-agent.com) previously known as uSubscribe.com, and that it is largely a U.S. magazine distributor (only one non-US magazine in the 32 magazines in section 'Food & Wine' is a strong clue), with the exception of these foreign titles. I cant see other organisations using this 'UMC', except pages like this where Magazine Agent is providing a subscription page for the magazine's website. Magazine Agent might be notable given the size of it (~700 magazines), so maybe we should move this page to that name and refocus it. John Vandenberg (chat) 03:24, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Too idiosyncratic to warrant its own article. If there were an article on this distributor, this would warrant one sentence at most in such an article, if at all (seems more like a product number to me)... --Randykitty (talk) 12:46, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I could find no reliable sources for this topic. Even DBpedia just refers back to the Wikipedia article. Far from universal and fails notability thresholds according to WP:GNG. --Mark viking (talk) 16:06, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
