|concern = Questionably-notable periodical, astroturfed by rich donors to (per the editor) fund "culture wars". There are many grandiose claims, but a [[WP:BEFORE]] shows very little RS coverage of Standpoint. The four sources in the article are what there appears to be: a launch puff-piece in RFERL, a diary piece on a new editor in the Evening Standard, a reaction to launch publicity in the Independent, a story on funding in FT. There's no evidence that Standpoint has made any impact at all. The article, and the sources available, fail to show that Standpoint meets any of the prongs of [[WP:NPERIODICAL]]. If we look at the magazine as an organisation, the only thing that isn't launch publicity or a fundraising round is the Standard note; this fails to meet [[WP:CORPDEPTH]] or [[WP:GNG]]. It looks like you can't buy notability. I'm willing to be shown wrong on this, but it would need to be shown with RS coverage. |

Standpoint is a monthly British cultural and political magazine. Its premier issue was published in June 2008. Standpoint is based in London and was co-founded by Daniel Johnson, Miriam Gross, Jonathan Foreman and Michael Mosbacher; Johnson was its first editor,[1] but announced on 11 December 2018 that he was standing down.[2][non-primary source needed]
The magazine describes its core mission as being "to celebrate western civilisation".[3][non-primary source needed] In 2019, editor Edward Lucas said: "We fight culture wars vigorously, mix polemic with mockery, and are all in favour of triggering people."[4]
The magazine has not published since the December 2020/January 2021 issue, and nor has the website updated since December 2020.
The magazine is run by the Social Affairs Unit, a spinoff of neoliberal economic thinktank the Institute of Economic Affairs.
The Social Affairs Unit is a charity. It is funded primarily by rich donors,[5] such as Jeremy Hosking, who donated £850,000 in 2019.[6]
