  • Which would then include about every other e-zine.
    • Kafenio was the first e-zine about Europe
    • About half the travel e-zines are patterned after it
    • It had the highest readership of all travel zines that ever were on the net
    • Was recommended by Writers Digest as one of the best zines to contribute to 3 years in a row mostly due to readership and notability.
  • if those are not notable facts I wonder what is.

    Because most of the documentation available is only on the net I decided to write an e-mail to the former publisher for information, which as far as I learned is a standard way of research. If needed I can produce these e-mails.

    The question I have is if this is really about Kafenio, or, if Kafenio is removed, SteveHopson is right about the lack of notability of Roberta Beach Jacobson below.

    • Unsupported assertions of "notable facts" aren't what are needed. What are needed are cited sources to demonstrate that this subject satisfies the WP:WEB criteria. If your only sources are direct interviews of the former publisher, then you have performed original research, which is forbidden here. It's a standard way to research things, but Misplaced Pages is not the place to publish the results. The places to publish the results of your primary research are books, journal articles, magazine features, your own web site, and the like. Misplaced Pages is a tertiary source, not a primary source.
