Spike Volleyball Magazine

While the magazine has a credible claim to notability as being Australia's only magazine dedicated to volleyball (at least while it was still being published), other than a few mentions online I failed to find enough significant reliable coverage for the magazine.

Jshster69 (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Sorry if I'm not doing this the right way. Are you questioning whether the magazine existed? I can provide photos of the magazine itself if required. Does it need to me "notable" to be on Wikipedia? Does State Library of Victoria records suffice?? http://search.slv.vic.gov.au/primo_library/libweb/action/dlSearch.do?dscnt=1&ct=facet&fctN=facet_creationdate&fctV=[2001%20TO%20null]&onCampus=false&query=any%2Ccontains%2Cspike%20volleyball%20magazine&bulkSize=20&tab=default_tab&group=ALL&vid=MAIN&institution=SLVPRIMO&fromLogin=true&search_scope=Everything[reply]

It was never stated that the magazine doesn't exist (it did). What we are discussing here is if the magazine is notable enough for a Wikipedia article; that is, if it meets our general notability guidelines. Also, remember that existence ≠ notability.

Comment. does not appear to meet WP:GNG, a google search brings up a few trivial mentions only eg. it is held in the national library of australia per their collection policy, and some other Australian libraries. But, it did receive the 2006-07 Best Media Coverage Award from Volleyball Australia[1], is that a "major award" re WP:NBOOK? Coolabahapple (talk) 19:23, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Coolabahapple: Honestly I doubt it. For one thing, as far as I know volleyball isn't popular in Australia, so I guess Volleyball Australia is hard-pressed to find nominees, let alone winners. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 22:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
