This article is unlikely to ever meet WP:V. Only one political orientation has a citation, and it seems to just say that Newsweek has new owners who are conservative. That doesn't imply the magazine will be conservative. That same article describes Time as conservative, yet the list says it's Liberal. Many of the publications may not even meet the definition of "Political magazine." If we remove all the unsourced (and the sole, poorly sourced) material, there is no article left.

• Keep The topic passes WP:LISTN. See The Political Junkie Handbook, for example. Andrew D. (talk) 06:37, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, but only keep magazines that focus on politics, not ones that cover a bunch of topics that happen to include it, e.g. The New Yorker, Time, etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:34, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
