[edit] Totnes Community Mag
Non notable, unenclyclopedic content. Unremarkable defunct community newsletter with an unverified circulation of 50 -100. No secondary sources to support notability. Google search reveals only mirror sites. The article's author was involved in the magazine: http://www.infoanarchy.org/en/User:SqueakBox (see history state prior to todays date) 3tmx 08:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete A quick google search shows up no reliable hits for this subject. It is also impossible to verify the contents of this article from third-party reliable sources as well. --Siva1979Talk to me 10:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete for reasons in nomination, particularly the lack of sources. --kateshortforbob 14:11, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete even if we just go ahead and assume the article is 100% true, come on... circulation 50 to 100?! When I was a kid I used to pass out xeroxed comics I drew that did better business than that. No real references either: the two links in the article are a government funding request (for £900!) that doesn't even mention the magazine by name, and the other is a very short "review" of the group that published it.

Comment -Strongly disagree with merge Contray to what the article author thinks the content is simply and completely non notable, and unverifiable regardless of whether it is incorporated into the page Totnes or not. If it is merged the issues regarding verifiability and notability are still pertinent. How is this newsletter culturally significant in any way??? Imagine if every single community newsletter ever published in every single small town thought it deserved a mention on Wikipedia. Then think about the implication that every single community group, village council etc would by implication entitled to a wikipedia page. Squeakbox why don't you give reasons as to why you think this deserves a mention on wikipedia (you had plenty of opportunity on the talk page but didn't either - maybe because its position is unjustifiable?)

- Delete no reliable resources, a circulation of 50-100, no notability. No merge, for the reasons outlined above. Nuttah68 11:22, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
