The result was Delete. I will then create a redirect from this title to Otaku USA. I'm not turning this article into a redirect because I don't see any evidence that they are related. -- MelanieN ( talk) 22:39, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

I did a search and found no trace of WP:Notability, there was a mention of the magazine here [1] but no in depth coverage. I have also not found much on Xvolve Publishing either, clicking on the magazine's official website now provides a dead link possibly indicating that the magazine is now defunct.

- Comment - well it's a print magazine that was active from 2005-2009 and was distributed on magazine shelves like at the airport as mentioned in this essay [3] There's also this article clip that was saved on a blog, must have been from a newspaper. [4] Its editor-in-chief left in 2009 and this blog laments the shutdown: [5] AngusWOOF ( bark • sniff) 02:24, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your search. Well the essay is something, but other than the primary blogs I am not seeing any in depth coverage here. - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 03:46, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- Delete - My searches only found results for a Otaku USA Magazine not this one, there doesn't appear to be significant and considerable coverage. SwisterTwister talk 16:09, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
