The result was delete. As noted by people here, for a publication to have a page it needs to meet a notability guideline first and not all of them do. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:34, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Kathmandu Tribune
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:GNG and WP:PROMOTION. No credible secondary sources cover the subject. IFJ and CPJ are circular references (IFJ and CPJ listing instances of them being mentioned in Kathmandu Tribune is attempted to use to validate Kathmandu Tribune's notability). It is a promotional article for a website that is trying to establish its identity as a legitimate news source. So far, the only indication of notability is this wikipedia article itself.

 * Delete. Fails NCORP. There are a few sites with passing mention of Kathmandu Tribune, but I'm not finding any Reliable Sources with significant independent coverage about it. Alsee (talk) 11:51, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep It is a new digital news media and this is the second time that so-called editors are abusing their power. The administrators should understand that new media companies emerge in any part of the world and one need not be New York Times or The Guardian to have their Wikipedia page. I am sure administrators will look into this like they have supported previously. And why not delete this page too? Naya Patrika Would any foreigners know that his newspaper exists in Nepal? What logic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.34.68.251 (talk) 14:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:OTHERCONTENT and WP:Other stuff exists are not good arguments on a deletion discussion. Wikipedia doesn't care about supporting an emerging business or anything. Wikipedia is a collection of information that is already notable. SeeWhat Wikipedia is not. Editing is not done based on emotions. As much as we'd personally like to support independent emerging media, wikipedia is not a place to assert our personal/political/socio-political opinion on what wikipedia should be. We work with the wikipedia that is, not the wikipedia we wish it were. Usedtobecool  TALK  15:02, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, you might want to see WP:Sockpuppet if you are contributing to same discussions, articles, etc. using different accounts and IPs at different times. WP:COI has information on how to approach contributing to wikipedia articles and topics you might have a personal stake on. Usedtobecool  TALK  15:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * (Not relevant to the discussion but) Since you are pulling the Nepal card, I can assure you I am from Nepal and live in Nepal; and if we are to appeal to evidence that might not be accessible to foreigners; or it's your word against mine, I will bet my life on it that Kathmandu Tribune is a long long way away from becoming any sort of a reputed news publication. It's currently indistinguishable from any number of news blogs or other blogs for that matter; except for the amount spent on the graphic designer. Usedtobecool  TALK  15:16, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not meet WP:NCORP. The few citations in the article don't meet WP:ORGDEPTH and appear to just be a WP:NOTEBOMB.  I couldn't locate any WP:SIGCOV during my own search outside the article.   Orville1974  (talk) 16:38, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I've just added to the open AfD discussions.  Orville1974  (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * DELETE - Subject does not meet any form of notability. Searches through google and news provided no coverage results let alone signficant coverage. ogenstein (talk) 22:54, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - article as it stands does not meet WP:GNG, lack of coverage in reliable secondary sources. Two of the cites are organizations looking for mentions of themselves.  starship .paint  (talk) 13:09, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
