Deaf News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reads more like an essay-like summary of a topic than an encyclopedia article. ViperSnake151  Talk  20:05, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete, I think this falls under the WP:NOTESSAY and WP:NOTFORUM rules, meaning that if it were to be included as an article, it would need to be significantly edited. - Navarre0107 (talk) 03:08, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have been involved in a deaf community and I can tell you that deaf people communicate and express themselves in ways completely different to hearing people (see Deaf culture) - if this article seems stilted and awkward, it's a deaf person trying to express themselves in hearing language - that said, the article is really a list of deaf news outlets - the article is lacking in sources, but Notability (media) allows that periodicals are notable if they are "significant publications in...non-trivial niche markets" - the deaf community is a non-trivial niche market - unfortunately, only the link to www.thebuffandblue.net is working, all the other links to deaf news outlets listed in the article are dead links - the article could be deleted due to lack of sources, but my experience with the deaf community and knowing the exclusion that they experience from the hearing world makes me lean towards a keep - Epinoia (talk) 21:36, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment. The topic itself is interesting, but I would suggest re-naming it Media in the Deaf Community. It's poorly written, and lack sourcing, but it is an encyclopedic topic.4meter4 (talk) 11:55, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep: OK Epinoia you have won me over! - Ret.Prof (talk) 14:39, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep if cleaned up. Here are several sources that could be used to source this article and make it pass WP:GNG:, , , . Best.4meter4 (talk) 02:09, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
