Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unión Libre

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete This article started off as a copyright violation of the archived web page of 18 Feb 2007 linked in this discussion by Uncle G. Attempts made in manifest good faith to ameliorate this were, in my opinion, insufficient to remedy that underlying problem. No prejudice for recreation of the article if it be re-made without that problem. As for its status on Wikipedias in other languages, while technically that should be decided on those Wikipedias, I would strongly recommend that people who know those languages work towards an outcome similar to the one made here.

I agree with the nominator that this article appears to "in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea". That given, in my opinion it should be tested for notability first, given the article was

created on 28 August 2008 on the English language Wikipedia,
created on the Breton language Wikipedia in 2009,
created on the Catalan language Wikipedia on 25 August 2008,
created on Spanish language Wikipedia on 25 August 2008,

Looking for OCLCs for this purported magazine/scholarly journal/ literary magazine finds nothing. I question whether this purported journal ever existed, or in the alternative if it ever existed it did not pass any or all tests for notability .

In 11 years, no-one has noticed that these articles were just copied wholesale from this promotional blurb. Uncle G (talk) 13:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This looks like either advertising that nobody has noticed for 11 years or a hoax that nobody has noticed for 11 years. Based on no proof of existence, I am leaning toward hoax. Rockphed (talk) 19:04, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the article in Galacian Wikipedia has two citations which give brief writeups, one in La Voz de Galicia and one in ElProgresso, which may meet WP:NPERIODICAL - seems to be an important literary magazine in its own area that has been publishing annually for 22 years - the general editors, Carmen Blanco and Claudio Rodriguez Fer, are notable scholars and writers - Wikipedia:Notability (media) allows that periodicals are notable if they are "are significant publications in...non-trivial niche markets" - if Unión Libre has published for 22 years there must be a sustained, non-trivial market - Epinoia (talk) 03:55, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
