This is obviously a student newspaper with a link to their official website. Every other student paper in the area has a wikipedia page but the Journal has more awards. Let it stay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EthanLong (talk • contribs) 00:52, 26 March 2012
Yes, it is an article on a student newspaper. Yes, it has a link to the paper's website. No question about any of that. Maybe every other student paper in "the area" has an article. The existence of other articles has no particular bearing on whether or not this one should exist (if every other student newspaper jumped off a bridge... oh, sorry, my mind wanders). I have no idea what "awards" this paper has. In fact, I removed the vague, unsourced claim that the paper is "award winning" because it was vague and unsourced.
The problem with this article is it does not demonstrate that the paper is notable. Two possible ways to demonstrate that the paper is notable would be to show (through independent reliable sources) that it has won a major award of some sort. The second way would be significant coverage of the paper in independent reliable sources.
If you object to the proposed deletion of this article, please remove the notice from the top of the article. While it would be preferable for you to address the concern (the lack of sources), this is not strictly necessary. (If you do remove the notice and sources aren't added soon, I'll probably send the article to AfD for further consideration.) Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:56, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@SummerPHD -- This newspaper won an ACP Pacemaker award -- one of the highest honors at the college level. When I have time this week, I'll add that in with sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.92.244.97 (talk) 21:08, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
