I was thinking of creating a Wikipedia article about the Philosophy Now Festival, which I have attended twice in London (2011 and 2013). But should that have its own article or should it be part of this article about the magazine Philosophy Now? The Festival is organised by the magazine but is held at Conway Hall. There is also the annual Philosophy Now "Against Stupidity" Award, which is surely worth a mention but the same question applies - separate article or put it here?

p.s. Also the quite long list about contributors in this article seems to include some really famous philosophers PLUS everyone who wrote for a recent issue of Philosophy Now, regardless of whether they have a Wikipedia article about them or not. It struck me as a a bit odd. Why these particular contributors and not all the ones from other issues? Maybe it should be pruned a bit? ContraryM1978 (talk) 19:53, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody replied and it has been over a month so I think I'll just go ahead and add those 2 new sections to this article hope that's ok. Will try to find good references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.233.38 (talk) 12:14, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, comment above was by me but I forgot to log in. ContraryM1978 (talk) 12:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• That list of contributors should go, unless there are sources independent of this publication that comment on these particular contributions in relation to this publication (i.e., not just cite those articles). You may find some advice on improving this article in the
  magazine article writing guide. --Randykitty (talk) 12:23, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply

Thanks, that looks useful, but to be honest I don't think I have the time or knowledge to do a big overhaul of this article. (Though I can see it needs it). I have now added those two sections I promised to add, and that makes sense because I went to those events. Even though the PN festival was vey big both times (I saw it!), it was really difficult locating press references to it. I found a Daily Telegraph article about the Against Stupidity Award though, so I have included that. I want to work on some other article but might come back to this one sometime in the future?

I've finally done a little work on this article to highlight some of Philosophy Now's most noted (by the media) past content by creating a scoops and controversies section. Hope this helps. I also intend to create a short paragraph on the Philosophy Now Radio Show, which was a regular radio programme on Resonance FM, even though the show appears no long to be running.

I wanted to add quite a lot more material on the Philosophy Now Festival, which I have attended several times (I have programmes etc). However, as it has gained in prominence over recent years, and has attracted mainstream press coverage making it notable independently of the magazine that organises it, I think I'd suggest creating a new, separate article on the festival. Any comments? ContraryM1978 (talk) 19:24, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then, I've started a new article for th Philosophy Now Festival as I suggested here recently. I'm glad I did - there is quite a lot of notable material to include and it might take a while to get it right. ContraryM1978 (talk) 19:21, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
