This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Mexico. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Mexico|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Mexico. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Americas.

This promotional article for a local lifestyle magazine is a WP:REFBOMB that despite 31 citations has not a single source that qualifies for WP:GNG. Consider:

• WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of the magazine in coverage, mostly non-independent, or official bios of its founders: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]
• Brief mentions of the magazine's coverage of organizations featured in it in blog posts by those own organizations (self-referential and not secondary) [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]
• WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs such as the magazine's trademark, gov docs and its own webpages: [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24]
• WP:USERGENERATED business directories: [25], [26], [27], [28]
• Pure advertising for Giving Back magazine: [29]

A BEFORE search turns up nothing else. A note on page history: I draftified an earlier version of this page to give the creator time to make improvements, but the page creator requested deletion of the draft and posted a mostly identical version to mainspace again.

• Keep – The first issue was published in 2007, so it’s a relatively old publication. The magazine has covered major regional events, for example, the coverage of Prince Albert II’s visit. It also documents local events in the San Diego-Tijuana area, including philanthropy and community events. There is some coverage in reliable sources as well, and I believe Fox News is good enough to show notability. The previous version had approximately 20 citations. This one has more than 30.

  A lot of red herrings here. The age of the publication is of no relevance to its notability. The events the publication has covered are of no relevance to its notability. The Fox source you refer to (not Fox News but San Diego's local Fox affiliate) has a single sentence that says: Giving Back Magazine partners with several organizations in San Diego and Tijuana and showcases the people and companies that are doing good in the communities. (This is not WP:SIGCOV that qualifies toward notability.) The number of citations has no bearing on notability (and indeed, a large number may undermine the case for it; see WP:REFBOMB).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
