I think it really deserves one. It's not something I'd get greatly riled up about, and it's not quite as notable as Planet Sound and Digitiser, but way more so than Backchat and the TV Views and all that. Keep fighting, Phil!

This is old info, I think they decided to let it stay?

Hm, the page went yesterday. I checked a couple of weeks ago and there was a bit of a debate about it.

It's gone again. I don't really think what was there counts as a consensus, it was fairly blatantly a straw poll and someone hand waited until the second the "deletes" outweighed the keeps.

I'm not willing to do anything more to keep it though, because it's my article and I'll simply be accused of pushing it. Also, they're right, a Google search beings up no notable sources. If someone else would like to take this to a deletion review though (again), be my guest. I'd quite like to know why this innocuous little page has become suddenly become a contentious target for Wikipedia jobsworths with inflexible opinions.

Same reason the webcomics get targeted; some people can't even be trusted with low-level power.

Meh. It’s wikipedia, you guys are better off making an entry in Uncyclopedia.

Funny I should say this, as the only reason I knew this site existed was because of the Wikipedia entry for Mega-zine.

Yeah.
