Isn't this designation a bit of a stretch? Looking at the other entries currently in the associated category, only this article seems to concern an instance of what one wag has called crank samizdat. ---CH 00:03, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I assume it was put there because they couldn't think of another stub. I've removed it entirely. - DavidWBrooks 00:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The recent AfD mooted the question of merging the magazine article to its creator. It has survived him, but all the sources I find refer to the magazine as 'this thing Mallove does' rather than as an independently notable entity. This indicates that it would be more properly treated as a section at Eugene Mallove. As the article presently contains exactly one source, to the magazine's website, certainly the sources provided do not contradict this assessment. - Eldereft (cont.) 21:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(Pardon me repeating a comment from the AfD discussion) I think this would be fine if Mallove were still alive and shaping the magazine, but he's been dead two years and the magazine seems to be continuing just fine; at least, the page count isn't down. You're right that Mallove is the best-known figure ever associated with the magazine, but still, this seems like having Amazing Stories redirect to Hugo Gernsback.
Having said that, I haven't been able to find anything that wikipedia considers outside sources referring to the magazine, which would calm your concerns. It plays a role in the fringe-ier parts of the alt-energy/alt-physics crowd, but it seems to be hidden from casual view. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:43, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
At all Barnes and Nobles many people see the magazine, but they maybe never have heard of Mallove. Leave the magazine in its own separate entry so people can find it. The New York Times is not placed under its founder Mr. Ochs, no one has heard of Ochs.72.186.213.96 (talk) 22:17, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
These arguments against merger are excellent.
Given that energy will be of increasing public interest in the next few years, the article has the obvious potential for long-term expansion. A merger would serve no purpose and would be contrary to the goals of Wikipedia.
Well, that certainly does not even resemble a consensus for merger. Thank you for your cogent arguments, User:DavidWBrooks. - Eldereft (cont.) 23:18, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Storms, The Science of Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions, World Scientific, 2007, has this (p. 3):
"Infinite Energy, founded by the late Eugene Mallove, continues to publish articles about cold fusion under the competent editorship of Christy Frazier."
I haven't done a more general search, I just happen to have the book. --Abd (talk) 20:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
