Daily Gazette (Colchester)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails notability (WP:GNGs and WP:NNEWSPAPER) in particular and there is a lack of sources.

Sources 1 and 2 appear to be directories (i.e not showing notability) and sources 3 and 4 only appear to reference the Colchester Gazette in passing only. With no notable and acceptable sources, the article has to be deleted.  G R '' (Contact me) (See my edits) 14:48, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - daily newspaper, source 1 is not a directory but the Victoria County History which describes the setting up of the newspaper. Source 3 is entirely about the newspaper, not a passing mention. Warofdreams talk 14:53, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The current article presents sufficient sources to justify a finding of notability, especially if we assume good faith about the cited offline sources.  I also note a variety of quotes from and references to this paper in articles from other (larger) papers, suggesting notability per the criterion mentioned at Notability (media). --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
