- Those are unacceptable sources. See WT:CFI. DTLHS (talk) 23:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- Why is Ballistic Magazine an unacceptable source? It is a print magazine. -- 70.51.201.106 23:36, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
- Why was the synonymous form deleted instead of being included here in this RFV? -- 70.51.201.106 04:34, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Washington Post (7 May 1996; dead tree edition)/Batllist Magazine (Fall 2015; dead tree edition)/Wired Magazine (July 2012; dead tree edition) -- 70.51.201.106 23:51, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Cite 4 is not unambiguously the same usage as the definition. Cites 3 & 5 ARE archived at the Wayback Machine. That would give us 4 cites. DCDuring (talk) 00:47, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Ballistic Magazine (ISSN 2573-0290) is a dead tree publication. Anyone can subscribe to it for delivery of the dead tree edition to their doorstep [5]. This particular issue can be bought from Amazon [6] and is listed as 11 x 9 x 0.4 inches and 1.1 pounds, so clearly a dead tree item. Why would waybackmachine be required for such a citation? -- 70.51.201.106 05:32, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
- Mostly because it may shorten this discussion. Some print publications also have ephemeral blogs whose online footprint is indistinguishable from that of the print content. That seems like a very weighty periodical. DCDuring (talk) 14:45, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
