Fan Films Quarterly

Blatant advertising page for self-published/print-on-demand fan magazine. No credible assertations on notability in the article. Google search on "Fan Films Quarterly" brings back 120 returns, only 28 unique. Article creator Nobleverse appears to be the publisher David Noble. Previously listed for speedy deletion, tag removed by Nobleverse. Delete MikeWazowski 14:19, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was holding out for a bit on this one because the author said he could get sources for it and I completely forgot about it until now. Delete as a non-notable magazine. Metros232 14:24, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it's a puff piece --RMHED 20:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The intention was not to be a puff piece, but rather a method to catalog the growing number of fan films online. --Nobleverse 22:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I would appreciate such a catalog; Strong keep --89.57.52.84 00:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC) User's first edit[reply]

Delete - While some of these fan films may be notable, this magazine does not seem to be. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 20:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP already has an article on fan films and is not a directory (and is certainly not an advert for a magazine posing as a directory). Yomangani 22:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe that the magazine poses as a directory, but rather a source for current information on fan film projects. It is just a matter that, within Wikipedia, there is no more thorough listing of fan films under this forum. The closest may have 25-40, but we are surpassing 200 fan films listed, and are prepared to add another 70 in the near future. In addition to discussing over 200 fan films in its' publication history, the magazine also talks about related issues, to include financial distress, legal ramifications, potential future projects, and other real issues that fan film companies have faced.

I would also like to point out that, in Issue #3, we covered KISS and the potential for a fan film based on the 100+ tribute bands across the world. I think cholmes75 would have liked the article. Thanks, User: Nobleverse 12:11, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
