Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Motorcycle Consumer News
A http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&redirs=0&profile=default&search=%22Motorcycle+Consumer+News%22&limit=500&offset=0 very lazy search of Wikipedia can demonstrate that Motorcycle Consumer News easily meets criteria #3 and #4 of Wikipedia:Notability_(media)#Newspapers.2C_magazines_and_journals|Newspapers, magazines and journals in . The article itself makes an important claim to notability, and even uniqueness, in the second sentence: "It stands out in its industry by being wholly subscriber-supported and does not accept advertising", with a citation of a third party book, Chilton's Motorcycle Handbook, which recommends MCN specifically because they don't accept advertising. And then the article goes on to list notable and award winning writers on the MCN staff: David L. Hough, Ken Condon, Lee Parks, Glynn Kerr, Fred Rau, and Flash Gordon (physician), who have been cited many times on Wikipedia. It is without a doubt recognized as an authoritative source particularly for motorcycle testing; though MCN is not a perfect source, there can't be any other publication that is more trusted, since they have the greatest degree of independence in their industry
