 * Delete While this magazine seems to have a large number of Facebook fans, it seems to be nonexistent everywhere else. Searching for link:wannabemagazine.com turns up almost nothing. YumOooze (talk) 06:36, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete The statement in the nutshell description for WP:N is applicable, "Wikipedia articles cover notable topics—those that have gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time."  This topic fails WP:GNG, there is no reliable independent sourcing documented in the article and I found none in searches.  Also fails WP:V, as I was not able to verify it when I checked one of the claims sourced to the website of the magazine: compare this sentence, "The magazine regularly updates 12-15 articles, reviews and blogs about fashion, style, trends, travels, dating, sex, arts, design, movies, celebrities, music, books, editorials, culture, add campaigns, sports", sourced with the home page, where this is the English translation of the source.  The references in the article based on facebook would need to be removed if this article were to be kept.  Here is an English translation of the webfest.me award, which is all of one sentence.  This search here shows a "Media Sponsor" relationship between wannabemagazine and webfest.me, which even if incidental, goes to show that even for this one sentence, it is not the "world at large" that is giving attention to this magazine.  The world's librarians, as reported at worldcat.org, don't take note of this magazine.  Review of the first three pages of this search showed no additional reliable sources indicating notability.  Note that this magazine is only one year old.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:09, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
