Talk:Galaxy Publications
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] As this article is currently written, this company is not shown to be important enough for an article
Please see Wikipedia:Notability:
"A subject is notable if it has been documented in multiple, non-trivial, independent, published sources....Notability is used to determine whether a subject warrants an individual article in its own right on Wikipedia.
* * * * "Notability is a consequence of the official policies that Wikipedia is not a directory of businesses, websites, persons, etc., and that Wikipedia content is verifiable (from independent sources)."
"If an article topic has no reputable, reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on that topic."
and Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations).
It most likely will meet these criteria; however, the information that establishes that needs to be included in the article.
There is absolutely nothing in this article that identifies the subject as being important (notable) enough to have an article included in an encyclopedia. My feeling is that as currently written, it actually meets Criterion 7 of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion:Articles:
"Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is controversial or there has been a previous AfD, the article should be nominated for AfD instead...."
I have provided further information at Talk:Knave (magazine) to more specifically demonstrate the issues with that article; a simliar comment could be written about this article.
Please note that my motive here is to encourage the improvement of articles; thereby improving Wikipedia's content. This is not a "witch hunt" as others seem to believe.—Nicer1 (talk • contribs) 21:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Why not choose something other than clearly notable pornographic magazines and their publishers to tag then? --SandyDancer 22:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

- Have you bothered to read anything about why the articles are being tagged, or are you just fixated on your idea that I'm singling out porn magazines?
- If the articles conveyed the information that the publications were "clearly notable" then I wouldn't be tagging the articles. Remember that your being familiar with the publication and knowing how popular/notable it is doesn't mean anything here unless that information is in the article. Some poor slob (like me, God help me) will stumble across the article and say, "Huh?".
-
- I don't undersstand what the reluctance to turn these into good articles is. And perhaps to lay to rest your suspicions or whatever else you want to call them about my motives, take a look at this vs. this. I also made minor changes to this article to help improve it. Ta da! I've actually improved articles about a porn magazine and a porn publisher.

- You might also want to take a look at 30 Something; I also stumbled over that article when I was browsing List of pornographic magazines and found it to need work as well.
