Linux magazines

A list of mags having to do with Linux, none of which have articles, but all have weblinks, modified link farm. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 04:00, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete, wikipedia is not a web directory--nixie 04:42, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Merge missing magazine names into List_of_United_States_magazines#Technology_Magazines. Delete the external links; they can be recovered when articles are built. — RJH 17:44, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to List of United States magazines. Megan1967 06:36, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As the original author of the page I think I will comment on this subject. I oppose deletion, since the claim that none of the magazines have pages in Wikipedia is false. There is a page for Linux Journal and Linux Format but the links were typoed, and hence it looked as if there was no such page. I am not a US citizen, so merging with the List_of_United_States_magazines would be wrong, since some of the magazines listed are not printed in the US but you can still subscribe to them anywhere in the world. The reason why I started that page was because I was looking for what Linux Magazine to subscribe to but couldn't find any list of what magazines exist and what the magazines focus on. (anon edit from 193.64.14.2)
- Point taken. I'm changing my vote to Merge to Linux, given that not all of the magazines are from the US. Megan1967 07:30, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. If this is actually useful information, merge it into Linux; otherwise delete. DS 14:51, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

merge, as above. Avriette 00:06, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Original author here again :) I was bold and merged it with Linux. The Linux magazines-page now redirects to that page. (193.64.14.2 08:00, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC))
