Talk:Secular Homeschooling

I just added this page but am not clear on how much information is appropriate for a magazine reference. I described the one significant controversy involving the magazine (the reprinting of content from issue #1). Should I post a list of the main contents for each issue, or is this just an annoying list instead of useful information? Cancilla (talk) 18:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Maybe on a separate page? 71.160.176.166 (talk) 02:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Additional content?

I see that most of the content for this entry has been deleted. This is the only (so far as I know) U.S. magazine specifically for non-religious home schoolers, so I think it deserves an entry. What kind of information should be posted about it? Suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cancilla (talk • contribs) 05:44, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Content needs to meet Wikipedia's requirement for notability and verifiability. As far as I can see there is none. Lame Name (talk) 11:33, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I added a couple of paragraphs about the magazine's unique POV and about its most widely distributed content. I used only sources that aren't by the magazine's editor or on the magazine's web site or blog. I think this helps.Dcwaterboy (talk) 21:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Notability is presumed for newspapers, magazines and journals that:

• have produced award winning work
• have served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history
• are considered by reliable sources to be authoritative in their subject area
• are frequently cited by other reliable sources
• are significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets

I fear a cursory mention on a blog is not going to make the grade.Lame Name (talk) 16:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

I think the argument would be that secular home schoolers are a "non-trivial niche market" and this is the only publication serving that market. But if the publication has to meet all of those criteria, I agree that this does not. Unfortunately, the guidelines seem ambiguous about whether one or all of the criteria have to be met. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cancilla (talk • contribs) 03:04, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
