It's an organization, it's a magazine, it's a website . . . but when I start to examine what this is about, it just seems to be a magazine that took two years to prepare and of which a grand total of one (1) issue has appeared, backed up by a tremendously inoffensive/vague mission statement and a website that merely serves to advertise the magazine (and whose content has been plagiarized/recycled for this article). But perhaps I'm missing something here. Right now, however, no other WP article is linked from it or to it. I'd suggest zapping this until either (a) half a dozen issues of this magazine have come out or (b) any issue of the magazine gets itself in the news. -- Hoary July 5, 2005 06:16 (UTC) .... Thanks to a suggestion by Grutness (see below), I now think slightly differently -- although I still propose deletion of the existing content. See my "Comment cum clarification cum revised proposal" below. -- Hoary July 6, 2005 02:42 (UTC)
- Delete, agree with Hoary's rationale; an inter-college newspaper could easily become notable, but this does not seem to have gotten there yet. Dcarrano July 5, 2005 06:19 (UTC)

- Rewrite as stub on Iggy Pop song. Grutness...wha? 6 July 2005 01:39 (UTC)
- Comment cum clarification cum revised proposal: I hadn't heard that there was an Iggy Pop song with this title, but I'm not surprised to learn that the title is used elsewhere. Since there was no article for the film Professione: reporter when I looked yesterday, I wondered if there was one for its anglophone title, The Passenger. It was thus that I landed on this article. I subsequently started Professione: reporter and thought I might turn The Passenger into a redirect. Thinking that that might be construed as vandalism, I refrained. Rather than dragging Michelangelo Antonioni into the conversation, I thought I'd recommend zapping The Passenger and (if/when it was zapped) re-creating the page as a redirect. Right then: I now propose to zap the content as it is now and to create a disambig page with (for now) two options: (i) "The Passenger" (Iggy Pop song) (or similar), and (ii) Professione: reporter. -- Hoary July 6, 2005 02:42 (UTC)
- One of his better known songs - it's on Lust for Life. The Passenger (song) would be the other possible title for the article. Grutness...wha? 7 July 2005 07:04 (UTC)
