There are numerous reasons why this wikipedia entry is valid and should not be deleted. The subject matter (TSV) is of interest and is important because:

- The publisher, NZDWFC, is the longest running Doctor Who fan club in New Zealand.

- TSV is the longest running Doctor Who fanzine in New Zealand and one of a few print fanzines about Doctor Who still published internationally.

- DWM comic strip writer/editor Warwick 'Scott' Gray and novelist and Big Finish writer David Bishop were both early members of the NZDWFC and had their first Doctor Who work published in TSV.

- Material first published in TSV has been reprinted in books and magazines, including The Discontinuity Guide, The Television Companion, Talkback, Doctor Who Magazine, In-Vision and Licensed Denied.

- TSV was the first publication to publish an interview with Sylvester McCoy era script editor Andrew Cartmel about his work on the series. The interview was subsequently picked up and reprinted in Doctor Who Magazine.

The above indicate that TSV is a well-established international Doctor Who publication with an excellent reputation. As such, it is an important part of the Doctor Who community and, within the New Zealand science fiction fandom, is important historically.

The intention is for the TSV wikipedia entry to be fully expanded to indicate this important and to provide a fuller history and background to the publication. As TSV is still in print, the wikipedia pages will be kept up to date.

I'm afraid it also constitutes fancruft in that it is an unofficial fanzine; while it is of interest to fans, it has little relevance to the encyclopedic coverage of a television series. --The Missing Hour 20:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yes well, let's send it to AfD then. Unless you can provide links to newspaper or magazine articles etc. about the entity if will likely be deleted though. Herostratus 23:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
