Non-notable publication formerly redirected to the Saturday Evening Post. Dronebogus (talk) 03:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Children's magazine published since 1952, with Wikipedia article since 2010 (it was briefly redirected to Saturday Evening Post, but was a separate article most of the time). Magazine has a history under other owners. *Dan T.* (talk) 04:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added some references, including two academic references that didn't speak highly of the 1980s version of the magazine. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:10, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep There are a number of mentions of it in scholarly articles over the years which would support an article - more than just the criticism section of the page - and possibly more mentions in newspapers. It's not the most notable thing in the world but I think there's just enough for an article. I've cleaned up some of the promotional wording in the article as well.

Keep. this is a well-read children's magazine in the US. I read this when I was a little kid. This is sold all over the United States. Worldcat listings.— Maile (talk) 23:03, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That vote rationale sounds like WP:ITSPOPULAR mixed with WP:ILIKEIT Dronebogus (talk) 08:46, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
