- Comment When I came across NewMediaRockstars, it took me about a month to decide whether I thought it was notable enough to start a stub. One of the problems we face with New media is that it is emerging rapidly right now and it may be that we are lagging behind in our ability to detect notability. Of course, the counter argument is that WP:Too soon applies in these cases, which is a reasonable argument. However, in the case of NewMediaRockstars, I think the case can be made that it has passed through the threshold of notability. Looking at Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers.2C magazines and journals, at least one of five criteria must be satisfied. Criteria #3 and #5 appear to be satisfied by this online magazine.
- 3. "are considered by reliable sources to be authoritative in their subject area". Below are two examples where it is cited by reliable sources.
- 5. "are significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets"
- New media is a non-trivial niche market. WP:GOOGLEHITS is one measure of whether this magazine is trivial or not in the "New media" niche. I got 75,700 hits and there are 8,306 Facebook likes last I checked. So, people in the New media niche market are paying attention to it.
- I believe that #3 and #5 are satisfied and justify Keep, but if the community judges WP:Too soon, then I request the article be userfied. --I am One of Many (talk) 17:21, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
