[edit] Vosh

Supposedly about a parody magazine, but I can't confirm that it even exists. Even if it does, it almost certainly doesn't qualify as notable--it was originally created for a Current Events class. Googling on the phrase "Vosh magazine" gets 2 hits, both WP mirrors. Even a search for +Vosh +magazine gets only 1500 hits, and those appear not to be relevant--this magazine was not mentioned within the top 30. Meelar (talk) 05:36, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Google returns nothing. I think they're bringing the parody here: "VOSH came to an end when the syndication deal terminated. Despite the short run, VOSH has had a tremendous cult following and several magazines have tried to capture the feel and design." Marskell 09:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Don't Delete I have heard of this magazine. I am not affiliated with the creators at all. I believe this article is about a magazine that has reached cult status in a particular state that neither of you live, which is understandable. However, to the people living in this state this article has perdenance and should be kept to please everyone. -BK

• Don't delete For those who don't believe in the magazine's existance, I can fully backup its unbreathed animitity. Although the result of a google search shows less reassuring evidence, it is probably because of the lesser amount of publication about the magazine. The comeback startled my friends and me. We all got out out wallets to purchase the hilarity known as Vosh. Beleive what you want, but the truth is known by myself. I don't personally know the creators, but it's apparen that they enjoy any form of public attention, and deleting this would sadden the creators and might affect the content of the magazine----Ej Streib

• Don't Delete I have never heard of this magazine, but I think that the fact that google shows limited results does not permit deletion. There are other mediums that this magazine might be well known as. As for saying "they're bringing the parody here", if you can't prove it's wrong, you're at no position to say that. I've seen worse articles on this site. It's only fair to leave this one here. -I don't have a screen name but I browse Wiki frequently.

• Keep This is Mazeman, creator of the article. The magazine started, as the article states, in a Current Events class that I attended as well. Big things can start in small places. I knew the creators, Johnson and Soldiers, quite well and I was behind them when they sent in VOSH to a small syndication company in New York. The first seven issues sold nearly 200 each, which, for a magazine that started in a Current Events class, was huge. Their was a critic working at the syndication that did look over the issues. I assure you this magazine is real and, just because its not huge, or on Google, it does not deserve to be deleted from this site.-[[User:Mazeman|User:Mazeman/Sig]] ]

Don't Delete I can see why you'd want to remove this article, but I want you to tell me why it should stay. Point out some positives. Just because the magazine doesn't affect you (nor does it affect me) I'm sure it is a form of formal reference for the curious few that want to find something out.
