Jasodhara

Non-notable magazine per WP:NOTE, can find no reliable sources per WP:RS online that it even exists, part of a walled garden with Manoj Pradhan and Jasodhara global media MuffledThud (talk) 05:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion Objected : Does notability of a magazine depends on its mere web presence or a few references online or its service to a community as noted in more enduring and ubiquitous sources like old press-clippings, books, journals etc.

It is high time wikipedians get out of their make believe world of online sources and take a little trouble to browse through the wealth of information that hasn't made its way to the web instead of making such naive remarks and judgements.

Let there be an open debate on it and the authors asked to submit references in support of their articles from all sources.

Delete Fails WP:NBOOK. Unsourced + didn't find any sources that establish notability (even the magazine's own website seems defunct). Abecedare (talk) 06:31, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Dear Wikipedians, I appreciate the need for more references to make an article better. However, confining references to the web only definitely shows lack of foresight and wisdom. India is a country that is still far from being webbed substantially to trace every references on it. A true encyclopaedia must reflect facts that can be traced from all sources i.e, print sources, web sources, people and culture etc. Piyushsao (talk) , 5 May 2009 (UTC)— Piyushsao (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment There seem to be no references quoted outside the magazine itself, whether web or print. There seems to be no article in Oriya - or if there is, it's not linked to this English one. It's a little difficult to find references on the web for this name without wading through swathes of non-relevant ones, so perhaps the creator could do this for us. Or cite reliable outside sources in print at the least. Peridon (talk) 18:00, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only ref provided is incorrect. No mention of ciruclation figures. --Deepak D'Souza 05:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep What do u mean by incorrect. Go to the site of leading Oriya Newspaper 'Pragativadi' at www.pragativadi.com. Click its 'Archive' tab at the top of the page and browse news item of April 28, 2009. Do news items on any media outlet mentions its circulation figure.

How many wiki articles on 'magazines' have outside references other than a link to its own website and the guidelines of wiki itself states own sources are not be treated as references.

And I'm sure, our wikipedian friends would definitely come up with more references on a magazine that has been contributing to a state's culture for over two decades. (Brainmap (talk) 06:00, 8 May 2009 (UTC))[reply]
