Yellow Silk

Article fails to establish notability of the subject. Mentions of the magazine in Google Books seem rather trivial. EuroPride (talk) 13:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep while the magazine never got a truly wide circulation, it set some standards for erotic literature (real literature, not a euphemism), along with the "best american erotica" series of books. ive added the book anthologies derived from the mag, all of which were published by major trade publishers. the authors can all be shown to have published in this magazine, as the mags website lists all the issues contents. i can tell you this was a classy magazine, with excellent production values for a smaller publication. of course, as with many notable books and magazines, third party mentions are often hard to find online, except for the big guns. publishers weekly will have reviewed many of the books, and local bookstores will have written about them. the magazine and the editor are highly notable in the san francisco bay area, where a renaissance of such types of writing has flourished for a couple of decades.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 17:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Here are some newspaper articles that I could find in just a couple of minutes: |+erotic+yellow-silk&hl=en. Each of those has this publication as its main subject, and there are plenty more such sources availiable here and here. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:42, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
