Impact (The University of Nottingham's Student Magazine)[edit]

I believe that this page contains vanity. This is shown in both that the username of the author is subsequent to that of the article's name. Could someone please review this, preferably an administrator, and review my case. Sydney Know It Alltalk 14:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As the author I apologise if this entry appears vain, I was unaware of the Wiki rules. I would be happy to make changes (I have already revised u/n due to blocking). I believe the article does hold value however because Student Magazine groups across the country require history/staff/awards information such as this. I would also like to enforce that since the Impact is non-profit (part of the University of Nottingham's students' union (http://www.students-union.nottingham.ac.uk/activities/activities_impact.php) Impact stands to gain nothing from this page. --Chris Huttonov (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 18:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not due to vanity though, due to complete and utter non-notability. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
~~Neutral~~ Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 05:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC) - Comment to User:Chris Huttonov - If you could indicate the Awards that this 'Magazine' has won and provide a link to where it says it got these awards please. Has the Magazine been Cited as a source by other Magazines? All this would be helpful in its indication of notability. just my suggestions. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 05:04, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence of the most recent award at least is here - http://media.guardian.co.uk/studentmediaawards - as far as citations go a simple Google Search for "Impact Magazine" demonstrates some 'notoriety', with it appearing twice in the top ten results. --
I have added in a few references to Awards for you, but if you could show a 1st place prize or alternativly where some newspaper has quoted Impact, would go a long way to show notability. Use this tool to help you make reference citations if you want, and they should show up properly now. (there was a missing {{reflist}} ) Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 04:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - after references to awards and Article expansion, still needs work ... but it makes the grade. Exit2DOS2000^•T•C• 05:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. After the expansions, the article looks OK, even though it could be further expanded, for example by title-page image or a short list of interesting articles. I think, that a magazine with ~30 issues is partially notable.147.175.98.213 (talk) 01:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
O.K. here's what I could find as supporting evidence. Impact WON the 'Best Student Magazine' category from The Guardian in 2001. Two entire articles have been lifted from Impact Magazine by the BBC here and here. Impact is currently on its 187th issue, issue 181 can be found in PDF format on Impact's website.
