 * Weak keep while this is a poorly written article that clearly needs referencing to establish notability; I would say that for now it should be kept and tagged appropriately. Earthdirt (talk) 02:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * On second thought Delete if this is the best that can be done since 2005 it should be deleted, and the second external link doesn't even lead to anything about the article. If someone sources it better to establish notability I will change my vote back.Earthdirt (talk) 02:39, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:12, 7 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Neutral: While I agree that it's unlikely a high school newspaper can pass the bar, I'd really prefer nom offer some valid policy ground for deletion. "Does not belong in an encyclopedia" isn't one.    Ravenswing  15:37, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per multiple awards in multiple years -- here, for example.--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 16:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Mergeto the article about the school. I don't see any need for a separate article. Even if kept here, it would need a different title. -- BPMullins | Talk 17:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to the Taipei American School article.  The article doesn't mention the circulation of the paper (i.e., number of copies sold), although school newspapers generally do not have a significant circulation, even in comparison to a small town weekly.  Quote me in the next issue of B & G as a jerk, but I'm sorry, no matter how many awards a school newspaper has won, it geenrally is not notable apart from the school that subsidizes it.

 * Merge A minimum standard should be winning one of the major awards at National Pacemaker Awards. Even so, there are several in each category each year. Merely a finalist is much too broad, as are the minor awards. DGG (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree with Merge to school page.Earthdirt (talk) 01:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
