The result was delete. Majorly (o rly?) 18:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Does not assert notability, possible G11 (Advertisement)? Also does not have any citations. —— Eagle101 Need help? 22:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Also WP:COI as writen almost exclusively by DBusiness user.. --Selket Talk 22:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I am in the process of adding citations as we speak. I am in control of exclusive content from this publication that is relevant to many existing Wikipedia pages, and could prove valuable in adding quality content to the site. The so-called 'link farms' was a list of a half dozen other magazine publications owned by the same company, and was placed under the external link category as to not confuse site visitors of its relevance. Before considering this for deletion, consider the 'Forbes' Wiki for deletion, as it's overview section is literally overflowing with outbound links directly to the various Forbes websites.--Dbusiness' Talk 22:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There is a lot of jargon that gets thrown around in these deletion discussions. I'm sorry if it can seem confusing Link farms are a problem in any article but an article will not be deleted because it contains a link farm. It will be deleted if the subject of the article does not meet wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:NN) or if it is autobiographical (WP:AB), which includes articles on a corporation written by or for the corporation or its representatives, or if the author's of the article have a conflict of interest (WP:COI). G11 referes to criteria for speedy deletion, general criterion 11, "Blatant advertising," and includes, "Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic." Forbes lists are well established and recognized by readers of in English language countries around the world. To keep this page from being deleted for notability, you should add to the page references (see WP:RS) to demonstrate that this publication is sufficiently notable to be included in an encyclopedia. --Selket Talk 23:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for the message. I can absolutely document notability. I'll be working on it over the next couple days. Thanks! --DBusiness Talk 23:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

- Merge to a new article on Hour Media. But clean up POV a bit. *Mishatx*-In\Out 08:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Using the Hearst Corporation Wiki as a reference, an Hour Media page will be added, however I don't believe merging will help with clarity of this entry - Especially considering the wide variety of publications covered, from Home furnishings to business interest magazines that are under the umbrella of this publishing house. Additionally, the page overview was edited to clean up POV. Thanks> --Dbusiness 17:23, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Local publications, with no indications of notability or RS DGG 01:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, I can find no indication of secondary source coverage, so this seems to fail WP:N and WP:ATT. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 17:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
