Comment: Can you please explain how this is self-promotion, an advert, and out-of-date? Curbon7 (talk) 22:49, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being promotional (advert) or out-of-date are reasons to improve the article, not delete it. --Randykitty (talk) 05:58, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: the sources (particularly the Financial Times source) establish that this a highly influential magazine within its circles. The magazine meets WP:BKCRIT criteron #1 as it has been the subject of multiple newspaper articles independent of itself.

It doesn't matter that McKinsey sponsors this publication for its own ulterior motives; the magazine has still had a notable impact in its own right. The fact that the magazine itself is self-promotion; is a separate issue to whether this wiki entry is self-promotion. I've made some edits to bring it more in line with NPOV.

There surely is a self-promotion aspect to McKinsey's publishing this periodical, but nonetheless it gets sufficient outside attention to regard it as notable. It's not just your random run-of-the-mill company newsletter. SchnitteUK (talk) 21:06, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep McKinsey Quarterly is a highly regarded publication in the business world. To the nominator, please be WP:BOLD. RPSkokie (talk) 09:55, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
