Pif Magazine

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has no sources other than the site itself, was created by a clear COI account, and lacks even the most basic rules for notability. Was prodded but an editor removed that notice with the claim "not sure is non-notable, it is mentioned by many RS... proceed via AfD if necessary" but did not actually provide any reliable sources.

Comment I've managed to find some little sources that mentions the magazine: [1][2][3]. Regards. --—Hahc21 ^{[TALK][CONTRIBS]} 20:56, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Ref #1 above is inaccesible to me, #2 & #3 are just passing mentions so not substantial coverage as required by the GNG. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I added one source that I originally found via Highbeam but was able to find sans paywall. For what it's worth, I can see the first reference in the comment far above too. --j⚛e decker ^talk 03:24, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the first entry of this Google Scholar search has a snippet from Long-Term Literary E-Zine Stability: Issues and Access in Libraries (Technical Services Quarterly, Volume 22, Issue 1, 2004, DOI:10.1300/J124v22n01_03). The snippet contains part of a question ending "as in the case of Pif Magazine, were e-zines that also published print anthologies more likely to stay online?" The full text is behind a paywall. I had to change the Google Books link from User:Hahc21 ("Ref 1") to this to make it accessible to me: there is only one passing mention. Cormac McCarthy’s The Road : Rewriting the Myth of the American West from [4] makes one citation from Pif Magazine 30 Aug. 2006. Otherwise all I find are list entries. -84user (talk) 12:58, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Obviously fails GNG. The magazine itself is not a reliable source at all. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG, lack of significant coverage by reliable sources. - Mailer Diablo 10:59, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
