Sourcing

Thus far the article still has no reliable sources that show notability.

At the time of writing, we have one self published source, one from a university departmental newsletter (not sufficient to show notability), and one incidental mention in the mainstream press (not about the publication, so doesn't show notability). Googling gives plenty of blog hits, but little in the way of anything that might prove reliable.

I remain open to the possibility that somebody will find RS for this, and given that it may be an uphill struggle, I think it can be cut a bit more slack for a few days. However, that can't be an indefinite situation, and if we get past the weekend still unsourced, I am inclined to look at deletion. Mayalld (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Notability tag

Please don't remove the notability tag when the article STILL doesn't have adequate WP:RS to prove notability. Mayalld (talk) 20:11, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Self-promoting

The content does seem somewhat self-promoting. There are two "positive quotes". One from Nick Cohen who is an Advisory Editor of Democratiya. The other from an editor of Engage, which the Democratiya's founding editor also edits. Hardly independent sources. Rwendland (talk) 13:10, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
