Zink magazine
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't see any evidence that this magazine is notable. Gawker's mentioned it a few times--and the purpose of their mention is specifically to point out that the magazine isn't important (that they used PR on an unrelated topic to gain some sort of attention).

 * Commment: While I was unaware of the prior AfD when I nominated, the arguments there don't convince me to withdraw. Two references allegedly exist, but neither have been added to the article. And, at best, we have exactly 2 sources; while that is enough to barely meet GNG, that's not enough to guarantee keeping the article. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:12, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong delete The initial issues in the original AFD have never been fixed, and it appears the original was not closed based on the merits of policy. This one is a non-notable, non-niche magazine with limited market.  It's sole "conundrum" about being ridiculed isn't enough to to even sneeze at notability  dangerous  panda  11:32, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete The sources don't seem substantial enough to establish notability. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 13:10, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not particularly notable, and exactly one edit (a trivial grammar change) between the closing of the first AFD and the recent edit war. The current frozen version is not what was there at the end of the AFD, so you should check that too . I'm not sure why the article is fully protected. The IP and the user were both blocked for a week well before the admin-only protection was added. Meters (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I recall the 'zine, but not the controversy. Bearian (talk) 22:10, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Can't find anything notable cited by reliable sources. Churn and change (talk) 03:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
