Hampton Roads Messenger

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unexplained PROD removal. It's a small free once a month newspaper that caters to Hampton Roads which includes Virginia Beach, the remaining six incorporated towns average a population of around 1,000 people. According to List of newspapers serving cities over 100,000 in the United States there are a couple much larger newspapers in the area. As such, does not seem to satisfy WP:CORP/WP:ORG.

 * Delete I think the nominator got their population figues wrong, but I agree as to everything else. I looked for sources and couldn't find anything suggesting this paper is sufficiently notable.-- Kubigula (talk) 15:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
