message: ==Redlink removal reversion==
Please note that the reversion of the 'red link removal' editing of recent is simply to allow adequate review of the supposed lack of notability of some of the redlinks - as far as I can see from a brief review of the titles - they are indeed notable - and also workable - just a lack of editor focus on getting the info into this list SatuSuro 09:54, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Note - didnt revert after all - need to review whole list at a much later date - will leave as is for the moment SatuSuro 10:18, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Answer to deleted question.
* There is no policy or practice that justifies removal of redlinks if the periodicals/magazines have existed at some point.
* Whether a railway magazine is notable or not within (a)general Notability guidelines  (b) Notability for magazines  (c) Notability relative to railways  should not be a reason to edit magazines out of this list. SatuSuro 04:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Railway Transportation Magazine 

message: Wikipedia is not a directory.  This list should not contain every rail and rail hobby magazine that ever existed.  As a Wikipedia list, it should conform to WP:MOSLIST and only list those magazines that already have Wikipedia articles. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:18, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The article about Model Railroad Hobbyist was not deleted for lack of notability, but because the article was blatantly promotional.  Now, if you can create a non-promotional and well-sourced article about the magazine, then it can be included here.  WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 03:15, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

text: Sorry if I've been a bit overzealous.  When I stumbled across this article, it had become a spam-field with links to every conceivable publication, regardless of the notability, readership, or any other criteria.  But to Jfugatesr's point: no, that is not necessarily how Wikipedia functions.  To be sure, the presence of red-links to Model Railroad Hobbyist in several places may well indicate the need for the article, the mere inclusion of the redlink in this list will not likely spur someone on to create the article.  For list articles like this one, the better criteria is that the article already exist, and then it can be added to this list.  This avoids the listcruft problem of every hobbyist adding their favorite publication, even if it is the newsletter of their 5-member club (and yes, there were some of those in the list before I cleaned it up).  If the magazine is so notable, creating the article should not be a problem. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

text: Several users have now insisted on including Model Railroad Hobbyist in this list.  Based on this, I will request an article at requested articles.  Any of you enthusiasts who are so insistent that this is a notable publication deserving inclusion are free to write the article on Model Railroad Hobbyist.  If none of you choose to do so, I will likely delete the entry once again. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:27, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  No one has taken up the invitation to create this article, so perhaps I was mistaken about its enthusiasts.  I will remove it once again, and once again request that it not be included on this list until someone can verify that merits inclusion (preferably by writing the article).

:  As noted in the discussion above, the publication should not be added to this list until a standalone article has been written about it. If the publication is notable enough for its own article (as indicated by the availability of independent sources writing about the publication), then it can be added to this list, but it shouldn't be added until the standalone article has been created.
