This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Lvin Magazine

Lvin Magazine was an independent publication based in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, focusing on news and analysis of the Middle East, with a particular emphasis on the Kurdish region. Founded in November 2002, the magazine initially operated as a print publication, reaching a peak circulation of 20,000 copies.^[1]

Lvin Magazine played a significant role in documenting the challenges faced by journalists in the region. The tragic death of reporter Soran Mama Hama in 2008 underscored the risks faced by those who seek to expose corruption and abuse of power. Hama, a dedicated journalist for Lvin, was killed in Kirkuk while investigating a prostitution ring allegedly controlled by local police and security officials. His murder remains unsolved, symbolizing the broader issue of impunity for attacks on journalists in Iraq.^[2]

While the print edition of Lvin Magazine ceased publication in 2019, its legacy lives on through its online presence. The magazine's website (lvinpress.com) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/lvinmagazine) continue to share news independently.^[1]
