nn giveaway magazine. Article was tagged for speedy G11 several times and prod several times, but tags were repeatedly removed but SPA accounts. Also appeared as SIP Magazine (CSD#G11'd at least twice). Delicious carbuncle (talk) 11:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Note that "Editor-in-Chief is Mark Milan G. Macanas" and article creator is User:Markmacanas, as well main editor was User:Sipmagazine. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 11:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable. The only citations are from the magazines blog and the magazine itself. The LeviStrauss citation only directs to a worldwide list of company offices. Major editors to the article have overt conflicts of interest. Lordjeff06 (talk) 12:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete appears to fulfill role of both G7 and G11 and in the absence of a speedy, the article appears mainly to be either a vanity page or a page acting as advertising. There are precious few citable sources and the ones there are tend to be from the magazine itself. I'm not against self citing but when it's the only cites it tends to worry me. This page might not be irredeemable but it would need some editors who will use NPOV more than the main contributors on this particular page. BigHairRef | Talk 12:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete I'm inclined to delete as not notable, I've attempted to help out with this article but I'm afraid it just doesn't meet the standards. I don't think speedy deletion is valid as it is a contested speedy and contested PROD. If reliable sources are found, I'd be happy to change my vote. The Dominator (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

• Delete not a notable publication. Seems to be a SPA created marketing piece. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 14:43, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comment Note also new editor Lighthouse hero (talk · contribs) and this recently added ref: "http://lighthouse-hero.livejournal.com/338986.html Mark Macanas' Site" Can someone please speedy this and block the three users (aka Mark Macanas) involved in this fiasco? Please? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 14:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

It seems like everyone is too eager to delete this entry on a legitimate and well-known publication in the Philippines. Yes, I am the editor-in-chief and being so, I took it upon myself to create this entry here -- thinking that Filipinos would also want to read about SIP magazine in Wikipedia. But after experiencing all the hassle in creating an entry here, being literally 'attacked' by unsupportive admin (given that this is our first time to add an entry to this this site) and finding out for myself how this site is being run, I must admit: it was a mistake to even think of adding an entry here for our readers' perusal. So please delete this entry without further ado. Thanks.
