Doesn't establish notability, as mentioned in the previous afd discussion - the obvious reason for keeping would be one or more of those listed at Wikipedia:Notability_(media)#Newspapers.2C_magazines_and_journals. This needs to be established - as I understand it if the journal is "yet another railway magazine" (no matter how popular, or widely published) isn't sufficient. There was one reference to this magazine found [1] - which gives the magazine a reasonable write up - however this is only one source, which I do not believe to be enough? If kept then please source/explain why it is notable this time. I should note that List of railroad-related periodicals exists and can cover the basic details of individually non-notable magazines.Oranjblud (talk) 16:53, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Putting every Rail magazine up for AfD is hardly a good faith effort and looks like a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT as well as WP:POINT. As noted in the last AfD, according to W H Smith, this is "Britain’s best selling historical railway magazine" [2], easily satisfying #5 of WP:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals ("significant publication in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets").--Oakshade (talk) 00:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep See also my other rationales for keeping the other related Railfan journals AfDs for WP:Articles for deletion/Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading (magazine), WP:Articles for deletion/Live Steam & Outdoor Railroading (magazine), WP:Articles for deletion/The New Electric Railway Journal, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Today's Railways. I don't feel that notability is absolute. If something is notable in a notable field, provided that field is non-trivial, it's notable. Roodog2k (talk) 19:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
