Talk:Shropshire Star

Publication not notable enough for inclusion in this great bastion of knowledge
Inserted notability tag. It is just a local newspaper that no one reads therefore, it is debatable whether it is really notable. I say we have this debate here and now. I also think we should call into question whether this tabloid paper which has a poor reputation for fact-checking is a reliable publication for sources.

 * Hello I feel my edits do conform to WP:NB therefore it is only right that we call into question the Shropshire Star's suitability for inclusion in Wikipedia. I'm not a deletionist or anything I just think we need to be pragmatic about this. Juan Diego Sanchez from Bogotta (talk) 18:01, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Put it up for AfD then Lyndaship (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
 * It's one of the highest-selling regional dailies in the UK (admittedly in a dramatically declining overall market) and historically, of course, was much bigger.
 * I suspect a long-running daily newspaper is usually going to meet notability requirements anyway; deleting the Star's article logically means deleting most articles on regional daily newspapers.
 * But as Lyndaship says, put it up for AfD if you feel strongly about it. Please note that deleting the article ABOUT the Star and using the Star as a reliable source for OTHER articles are completely separate issues. Barnabypage (talk) 06:27, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
