Unsourced, no proof of notability, thereby failing WP:GNG and WP:ORG. WP:BEFORE check failed to bring up anything of note. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 19:49, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment I have an idea that we generally keep articles about well established local press rather than expecting multiple references. Discussions about specific newspapers would usually be about controversy, scandal or closure so coverage tends to be scant. However I can’t find this anywhere in policy so realise I may just be imagining it. Mccapra (talk) 21:36, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that is not so. My local newspaper was founded in 1857 but I don't see any basis on which it meets our notability standards. The nearest we get to a specific notability standard is WP:NNEWSPAPER which is an essay. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 20:23, 31 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete as failing WP:GNG. The lack of content, despite the article being created in October 2008, testifies to its lack of notability since no-one has been able to add any reliably sourced content in nearly 11 years. 2A02:C7F:4481:8300:90DC:E235:5074:54B0 (talk) 20:23, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. 3 non bot edits in 10+ years says it all. This conversation is bigger than the article. Szzuk (talk) 14:33, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
