Non-notable. I can't find secondary sources in either English or Hindi(?). Adam9007 (talk) 17:29, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment Since this is a Gujarati institution, should not searches be done in that language before assuming there are no secondary sources?John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:55, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Not a reliable source, but in this answer on Quora an Indian journalism student considers the GNS a major, reliable news agency. Based on their about us page they would be notable if it could be verified from an independent source. Given this, I'll agree with John Pack Lambert that without someone familiar with Gujarati doing a WP:BEFORE sweep, it would be premature to delete.

 * You are all active, experienced editors who have the native Gujarati speaker infobox on your userpages. Could any of you please provide some guidance on whether this article should be kept or not? Thanks, Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:56, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It is a news agency providing news to small and medium sized newspapers published in Gujarati language. But it is less likely to be mentioned in secondary sources. Searches in Gujarati do not give references which can be used in article. Its claims like "largest" can not be independently verified and less likely to be. It is a news agency so not sure about if it can be considered notable or not.--Nizil (talk) 04:19, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Gujarat News Service or Gujarat News Agency - there are no independent or third party sources available in Gujarati language search also. I think it is too early for article to be created in lack of secondary and third party sources for Wiki page to be created or kept. Jethwarp (talk) 03:09, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, given the above comments by Nizil Shah and Jethwarp. Without any information to the contrary and two Gujarati speakers believing that there are no Gujarati sources that would demonstrate notability, there's no other way to !vote here.

 * Delete -- the native speakers confirm that there's no notability in the related language. Even less notable for En wiki. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:45, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and thus should have frankly been speedied as A7.  SwisterTwister   talk  02:39, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
