Charleston Tribune

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Fails wp:Note. Also, questionable refs: One is a news feed that links back to the "newspaper's" website. The other, Nieman Journalism Lab, appears to be a blog, but regardless, does not mention the "Charleston Tribune at all...rather, it is about AnnArbor.com. It appears that the local/regional paper has gone under, at least print-wise, and they are moving to an online format and limited publication, which apparently the Charleston Tribune is part of this re-format.  It's rather hard to tell.  Either way, the Charleston Tribune hasn't even run in print form yet, and isn't expected to until 2011.  Needless to say, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.  Possibly a candidate for speedy deletion, but it seems like there might be something to this, however convoluted it might be in its current form, so we'll see what others think.

 * Comment: Noting the username of the article's creator, there could be a conflict of interest and multiple user account issues here as well.  I will leave a friendly note on their talk page. The Eskimo (talk) 19:48, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Incubate. Charleston Tribune's website was launched on November 1, 2011.[1] The printed version of the Charleston Tribune will debut on January 19, 2011? Even if we assume the first is meant to say 2010, it still fails WP:CRYSTAL. Should be put in the incubator until more sources are available (and we determine if it will even happen...). - The Bushranger Return fire Flank speed 20:01, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Update After I brought some of the guidelines regarding notability and sources to their talk page, the creator of the article has given the go-ahead to delete the article in its current form, stating that he/she/they may have "jumped the gun" when creating the article in its current form. See the talk page  here. Can someone please close this?  I am not an admin, and am not familiar with proper procedures in these instances. The Eskimo (talk) 21:48, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
