Should this list be limited to notable media?[edit]

The recent addition of the local magazine Illiterati brings up an interesting point: Should the list of print media be limited to the more notable and/or well-established newspapers and magazines? On average, at least 1 new local magazine is established in Nashville every year. Most of them publish about 3 or 4 issues and then disappear quietly into the night. Remember Aluminum magazine? Niether does anyone else. What should the threshold be for inclusion in this list? Personally, I would like to suggest that it be limited to media which have been established for at least 1 year (for print media). Any thoughts? Kaldari 20:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, we should strive to make this list as complete as possible. Otherwise we, I believe, risk compromising the purpose of Wikipedia.--Zpb52 21:45, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
- I think that depends on your definition of the purpose of Wikipedia. Is it simply "an encyclopedia" or is it the "sum of all human knowledge"? According to What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Whether or not a tenuous local magazine that has been in existence for only 3 months deserves to be mentioned in an encyclopedia article seems debatable to me. But I suppose it would be better to approach it on a case by case basis, rather than making an arbitrary policy. In the case of Illiterati in particular, there is also the problem of verifiability. So far I haven't been able to verify that this magazine actually exists. Strange that they don't seem to have a website. Kaldari 22:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I stand by my initial statement. --Zpb52 22:22, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Does Illiterati exist?[edit]

I'm happy to go along with making this list as complete as possible. My question now is, does Illiterati actually exist as a magazine? The only information I could find about it on the web are a couple of mentions about its imminent launch: [1] [2] (both from May). There's also a brief undated mention of it in Muscadine Lines, but no specifics are offered. Is there any way to verify that this magazine was successfully launched and is still being published? Kaldari 22:58, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Still haven't been able to find any mentions of this rag past early May on Google. And no confirmation whatsoever that the magazine was ever actually published. Nor have I seen this magazine anywhere in Nashville. According to the article in the Scene [3], the magazine was going to be printed on someone's home printer as soon as they could raise enough money to print the first issue (which they apparently spent 8 months to put together while hanging out in a coffeeshop). My neighborhood newsletter sounds like a more substantial project than this one. Unless Illiterati's existance can be verified, I will have to delete it.

Xenogeny[edit]

Xenogeny will soon become Inside OUT Nashville: [4] Kaldari 15:33, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another defunct magazine[edit]

The Metro, which later become Bone Music Magazine was published by Tuned-In Broadcasting (Owners of Lightning 100, and the former 93.7 The Phoenix and Thunder 94.1). I don't know the years on those, but I do remember it was early 1990s through mid-1990s. CaponeX 04:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
