Dallas Express (established 2021)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails WP:NCORP. The likelihood that a local website established a year ago will be notable is slim to begin with. Of the citations provided in the article, most (Dallas Weekly and D Magazine) are purely local and fail WP:AUD. Of the two non-local sources, the first Columbia Journalism Review cite and the New York Times cite, despite being referenced multiple times in the article, make  no reference whatsoever  to the article subject. The second Columbia Journalism Review has a single line mentioning the subject, and is basically a passing reference. BD2412 T 17:23, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - Another one with references that fail WP:ORGCRIT outside of local press. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:49, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agree with above, that "attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability". I am concerned, as well, that the legacy of the much more broadly notable and historical Negro newspaper, Dallas Express, is undermined by this fleeting same-named entity. Not to mention, there was also a Dallas Express Airlines active in the mid-1990s, about which Wikipedia doesn't have an article (yet). We don't need to dredge the bottom of the notability bucket for this a Wikipedia's only example of "pink-slime journalism". - I am dis big (talk) 21:20, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
