 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per WP:NME guideline on Newspapers, etc. #5. There are additional sources such as for notability,  for evidence that this is a source that is used to document local events in a niche community per the guideline, and, which doesn't go to notability (since it is a directory listing), but does help allay verifiability concerns.--Samuel J.

 * Comment. We don't get to say it is important, we have to have sources to show it is seen as such. is the best source, and doing some snippet digging it seems to go for at least a few sentences. But that aside, I see nothing; no mention on Google Scholar. There is niche coverage of it in . I'll not vote weak delete for AGFing the book and assuming it discusses this media a bit more, but this is pretty borderline. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  05:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. A grand total of 700 subscribers? Local Christian monthly? This fails notability by a mile. Just more of Neelix's house of cards created for his own idiosyncratic promotional purposes. Softlavender (talk) 22:14, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

The article reads in its entirety "City Light News is a Christian monthly newspaper based in Calgary. It is delivered to over 700 locations in central and southern Alberta on the last Sunday of each month.[citation needed] Peter McManus is the editor and publisher. It was first published in 1987."

 * Delete, as the sources cited above fail to demonstrate notability. The talk page says that it is cited in various media, which do sound like WP:reliable sources; but not every outlet cited in RS is itself a RS, nor is it thereby notable. It can be useful to keep articles about specialist/minority media, but this one does not add value to the encyclopedia. – Fayenatic  L ondon 23:52, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
