 * Keep - the article is well-sourced, and the Samoa Times and Samoan Observer sources are enough to demonstrate notability.--IdiotSavant (talk) 09:35, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, the Samoa Observor piece is syndicated directly from the OFC, so its independence is questionable but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. The Samoa Times article would be good, and would otherwise be enough to prove notability, but I have serious concerns about that newspapers' reliability. From what I can tell, it's not actually an established Samoan newspaper of any sort, but rather a weekly community newspaper from Auckland, and their website provides no indication that they have an editorial team. I could not find any better sources from a search. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:16, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The Samoa Times was the longest-serving Samoan-language newspaper in New Zealand, based in New Zealand's largest Polynesian city. It was absolutely real media (for a non-English-language community), but largely print-based. There's an analysis of it from the Pacific Media Center here, and more here.
