Clearly just an ad for the magazine. The creator is User:Morryone, and the second sentence of the article reads, "As of mid-2009, Morry Morgan is the managing editor." -- mitchsurp -- (talk) 06:05, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep & Tag - It's not clearly an ad, though there is a WP:COI problem. Keep the article but tag with ((coi)) and ((npov)). Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 14:06, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per below. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 22:10, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If you actually start reading the articles on the website, you can see this "magazine" is little more than a PR mailing for the parent company -- a company newsletter with a fancy cover and containing "articles" featuring the company. As such, this is definitely non-notable. B.Rossow ^talk_contr 20:46, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Morryone (talk) 09:31, 25 September 2009 (UTC) I created the page as a legacy for a magazine that is a first for China (ie. bi-lingual HR), and didn't intend on it being an advertisement. I mirrored TIME magazine formatting.[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete it Promo. Miami33139 (talk) 03:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Morryone appears to have a conflict of interest, having identified himself as the creator of the cover artwork (on the image description pages), and because he is likely Morry Morgan (managing editor and founder). As such, his contributions on this topic ought to be particularly well sourced, to avoid the impression that he is promoting the magazine. At this point, since he's essentially the only contributor and there are no reliable sources establishing notability, I'd say delete it. TheFeds 21:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Based on the trivial notability of the subject, also taking into consideration the article has only been edited by one user (as of 28/09/09) I'll change and vote in favour for deletion also. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 22:10, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Morryone (talk) 15:35, 1 October 2009 (UTC) Contributors for the magazine come from human resources experts based in China. Only a few are afiliated with the magazine's parent company.[reply]
