List of newspapers in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The list consists of essentially one item and is not expandable. May be should be merged into South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands or a better target if there is any. Ymblanter (talk) 06:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment The South Georgia Museum is not part of the Government of the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, so they should be considered separate items. Other small territories also have short newspaper lists, like the Isle of Man. Joofjoof (talk) 07:06, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep You have to look at the article in reference to List of newspapers in South America. An article being a stub for life is no reason for deletion. Having a good overview of all the media coverage of a territory is essential for a good encyclopaedia. KittenKlub (talk) 09:03, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not clear to me that any of the listed items truly constitutes a newspaper or ever did. The situation in Isle of Man is quite different, since Isle of Man has a permanent population of over 80,000 and print newspapers are published there. South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands have no permanent population and only a minuscule temporary population. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:33, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete there are no true newspapers on this list and so there is no justification for having it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:39, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or Rename This page could be renamed as "Media" instead of "List of newspapers". The organizations on South Georgia (gov't, museum, scientists) are the de facto news sources for the territory. Joofjoof (talk) 06:29, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete not a useful article, could be a redirect to South Georgia Museum if we really feel the need for excessive completeness. Richard Keatinge (talk) 19:03, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands as said by nominator. Styyx   (talk)  09:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete This doesn't seem expandable past one item as is and I don't think renaming it to "media" instead of "list of newspapers" is really an option because the term is to broad and ambiguous. For instance books, records, and movies are all "media", but I don't think there should be a list that includes all of them. I know "media" can refer to "news media", maybe that's an option, but "news media" (or even "media" as it relates to the news is kind of a slang or pejorative term. So deleting the article sounds like the best thing to do. Merging with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands could be an option to though, I guess. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:10, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:LISTN. No notable newspapers, and a list of entirely EL's is a directory. Ajf773 (talk) 22:28, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or perhaps redirect to South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Gazette. This is simply not a list of newspapers.... Reywas92Talk 05:43, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
