Proposing article for Zero Magazine

[edit]

I would like to propose creating an article for Zero Magazine, a music magazine that ran in the San Francisco Bay Area, United States. The WorldCat entry is here. This is a different magazine than either Zero_(video_game_magazine) or Zero (Spanish magazine).

Some facts I was able to uncover:

  • The magazine ran monthly from roughly 1998-2008 (WorldCat claims 1992 but I can't find anything that far back)
  • It covered music, mostly punk and rock, from the Bay Area. A lot of local bands and acts, band and album reviews, and local scene events.
  • Its website began at the domain 'zero.cc' (archive.org copy here). One site I read claimed this was possibly because of the local push by ClearCast to have media companies use .cc domains, as mentioned on .cc
  • Around the year 2000 the magazine posted "we have moved to zeromag.net". It looked something like this.
  • Some time around 2000 or 2001 it moved domains again to zeromag.com
  • It ran until at least 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20090411033344/http://www.zeromag.com:80/pastissues/
  • It is mentioned at sites like indiebible, saying "Zero Magazine. The largest free alternative music monthly in Northern California. Now in its 15th year of production. Zero Magazine focuses on national, unsigned and local acts that appeal to the 18 to 34 year old age demographic."
  • I added a few mentions and references to the draft article as well.

Zero Magazine is already being used as a reference and mentioned in several existing Wikipedia articles:

Is this enough notability to meet the criteria for Wikipedia:WikiProject_Magazines/Writing_guide? Feedback is welcome. I also asked on the WikiProject Magazines talk page. Thanks! --Culix (talk) 02:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yet more Zero Magazines

[edit]

Since doing more research on this it looks like there are still *more* magazines named "Zero Magazine" that sometimes also cover music. At least the list below. I am not sure if there is enough material or notability for them so I am leaving them alone for now. --Culix (talk) 10:43, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Zero Magazine" that used to reside at zeromag.co.uk. That URL looks dead now. Last existing copy of the website seen by archive.org was December 2006
  • Some other "Zero Magazine" here, which may have only had four issues.
  • zeromagazine.nu
