Notability

Open magazine is a widely read English magazine in India, with more than 30,000 weekly readers. Arindamzzz (talk) 10:54, 3 November 2010 (UTC) Arindam[reply]

Proposed deletion

This article was just proposed for deletion for failing WP:PRODUCT. I think it passes product because the magazine itself has more notability that the corporation owning it. I removed the template.

The magazine is culturally significant for producing original journalism in India. I am having trouble finding sources to prove this, but here are two interviews with the magazine's editor so at least this is some proof that the magazine has been critiqued by third parties. [1] [2]

With the attention this magazine has gained in the past six months I would expect only greater things from them in the future. They are notable now and will be more notable later. Blue Rasberry 18:58, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
