Speedy declined. I can find zero reliable sources indicating notability for this Management Undergraduate Society of McGill University student publication. Delete and merge to McGill_University#Student_organizations, where the publication is already mentioned. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:23, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I declined the speedy because, unless other sources are found, I felt the article could be replaced with a redirect. However, if zero reliable source coverage (including primary and trivial coverage) really does not exist, what's it doing in the McGill University article?

- I should have been clearer: no independent secondary WP:RS can be found about this student publication. There are primary sources: it does exist and I don't have a problem personally with it being mentioned under student organizations, in some form. I should also mention that it doesn't appear to meet the essay WP:NMAGAZINE, either. And a Worldcat search for Bull & Bear seems to turn up an older publication, published in Toronto during the 1970s, indicating this hasn't even been registered with an ISSN number (if I understand correctly).

All that is well and good, but non-notable things can be redirected as well as deleted. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 21:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad it's well and good. I'm in favour of a redirect. Also, I do see one Gnews hit from the McGill Daily directing readers to the Bull & Bear for an opposing viewpoint, here. Not substantial, but independent. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:06, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
