Spectrum magazine is hardly a notable resource almost all of the sources link to the website also spectrum magazine does not get much coverage Jonnymoon96 ( talk) 01:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

- @ Jonnymoon96: You cannot tag a page for speedy deletion unless it unquestionably meets one of the speedy deletion criteria. Lack of discussion at WP:AFD does not even come close. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 23:00, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

- Weak keep. The significance of this publication in Adventist circles seems to be substantiated by the source in the second footnote. [1] As such it passes Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals. Of course it would be a stronger demonstration of notability if there were more than one independent source cited for the proposition. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 05:13, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

- Wrong forum As a split from another article, a notability concern for this topic does not need admin tools; and as per WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT, content discussions at AfD should be moved to a proper forum. Note that the fourth snippet in WP:BEFORE D1 Google news is from the Washington Post in 2015 and states, "...the independent, progressive-leaning Adventist magazine Spectrum."
