Keep Notable zinesters are not always noted in traditional academic sources. I am contacting some zine librarians to help bolster this article with citations from other sources. RachelWex (talk) 23:29, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've added multiple resources to demonstrate the far reach of Nihilson's work, including his collected papers in the GLBT Historical Society. These subject areas (zines, punk music, queer scenes, low-income activism) are all notoriously understudied, and Nihilson falls in the center of all of them.

Keep as the article has been significantly improved with the addition of references to multiple reliable sources such as books and articles so that WP:BASIC is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:15, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
