Your basic combination of vanity and blatant advertising. - Lucky 6.9 08:25, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Just found out this same user added a wiki for this entry to the list of magazines in Canada. Removed it until we decide what to do with this. - Lucky 6.9 08:32, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
It looks like a serious magazine. Secretlondon 12:09, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete: I think it's a serious magazine, too. Seriously. It's just that it seems to be too local and too small. Inasmuch as it's printed on an office printer & is by subscription only, it's in between a free weekly (in the US Creative Loafing, CityPaper) and a 'zine. Too small to be notable.

I thought a major goal of wikipedia was to increase important local content. Keep. Rhymeless 16:42, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Comment: Didn't think it was important. 'Zines are all over, and they're often really fun, but I think important shows in spread, professionalism, unless there is a lot of peer testimony. Geogre 17:15, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- I thought a major goal of the Wikipedia was to be an encyclopedia, not a collection of ads and blurbs for 1-year-old local magazines. Delete. --Ardonik 17:52, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)
