 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A single offline source, with no useful independent news articles about this publication found in GNews. Fails N:CORP and WP:GNG. Waggie (talk) 15:49, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

 * This is unbelievable. Please go thtough the links at this Gsearch. If you sesire specific sources, I can mention that but guess this will be enough. &#x222F; WBG converse 07:13, 24 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep A google news search is insufficient. WP:BEFORE states that "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects."  In this case, a full search soon turns up plenty of evidence that this is a mature and respected newspaper. Andrew D. (talk) 09:42, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, I guess The encyclopedia hardly benefits from sub-stubs like this one, but the topic is definitely notable enough that a decent article could be written. Whether this is ever going to happen is a different matter (I trust WBG's record, but am a bit more skeptical of Andrew's, and neither is technically obliged to do anything about it anyway), and whether the topic would be better covered in a List of Tamil newspapers (the most interesting source I found was this one) or some such pending such a hypothetical future expansion is a different matter again, but the nominator here is talking about notability, and they are wrong on that front.

 * Keep per Godric; a Tamil newspaper that has existed for 80 years is presumed notable unless editors from the subcontinent suggest otherwise. Their own website is sufficient reference.  It's conceivable that a redirect to The New Indian Express would be acceptable, but I don't know enough to endorse that. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 02:44, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject easily satisfies WP:BASIC. WP:SNOW also applies. gidonb (talk) 03:19, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
