Delete No assertion or citation of notability. -Markeer 16:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article is terrible, but the subject seems notable. Google has 500,000 hits, so we have something to work with. Yechiel Man 16:49, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per YechielMan. JJL 23:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep It's basically a print journal, with about one-third of the articles available online free. From Ulrich's Periodicals Directory-- 1/not indexed anywhere except in Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, which is mainly UK oriented but is the most complete of the relevant indexes 2/ the publisher is unknown otherwise--only title--it's a private operation run by the editor, Dr. Jonathan Collin 3/ a consumer magazine, claiming only 6000 paid subscriptions. However, though not available through Proquest & Wilson, it is through Ebsco and Gale, and it has been going under slightly varying titles since 1983, which is a long time in this part of publishing. Ulrich's will serve as a source. Being in Ulrich's doesn't show notability, since they put in everything they can find that is actually being published more or less regularly, but it does document the basics. I think being in 2 of the 4 major online services is notability for a consumer magazine. DGG 02:54, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per DGG. It is a stub that can be improved with scholar, news and book results. John Vandenberg 05:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
