I'm not seeing how this passes muster for an encyclopedia. Laun chba ller 16:33, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can't see how this passes either WP:ORGCRIT or WP:WEBCRIT. The only people who seem to mention it anywhere are current and former writers on their own websites or blogs. As a print magazine, it only ran for six issues before moving entirely online, so there's no indication of lasting significance, more like "blink and you missed it". The publisher and editor Heather Falconer sold the brand in 2016, and it now seems to have evolved into a kind of artistic LinkedIn... both creative artists and brands are invited to submit their details for consideration. But as either a print or online magazine, it doesn't appear to pass any notability criteria. Richard3120 (talk) 20:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article was created with no independent sources and stayed that way for over 7 years. Attempting to find sources on this publication only leads to passing mentions as well as unreliable blogs and primary WP:SOAPBOX sources. Just because it WP:EXISTS doesn't mean it should have an article, especially if there have been no independent sources (or any sources really) added to the article since it was created.

<please do not delete the Spindle Magazine Wikipedia page. The company has change tremendously since its inception (when the page was created) and its Wikipedia needed to be updated to showcase the company's full range. I have added many citations so that any doubt as to relevance and authenticity is cleared. Thanks very much>Soldi2019 (talk) 12:47, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
