I'm nominating on behalf of CultureDrone, as he didn't complete the nomination... Carbonrodney (talk) 07:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, give me a chance, I only started the AfD process 3 minutes ago and I can't use Twinkle here (damned IE) ! This process is all being done one painful step at a time :-) Ok, where was I.. oh yes....Contested prod, magazine asserts no notability. I'm aware that various discussions have taken place at AfD over the notability of magazines and newspapers, with some being of the opinion that all such publications are de facto notable, and others still requiring notability to be asserted. I'm interested in what the current prevailing consensus is, and whether the quality of the article has any impact. CultureDrone (talk) 07:06, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I cannot find it in either Ulrich's, or in WorldCat. The odds are i's a minor hobbyist publication below the threashold of notability.  There is a real magazine, WildBird, that is notable, see the listing at Cornell, but it does not seem to match. DGG (talk) 19:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Wild Bird is part of the stable of animal magazines published by BowTie, Inc. If the magazine is not notable, the missing company, which also publishes Cat Fancy and Dog Fancy, has a stronger claim to notability. Re-purpose/merge to company may make sense here. • Gene93k (talk) 21:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
