 * Delete. According to their official website, they are the No. 1 weekly newspaper in Mysore, a city of almost 900,000. Impressive! Naturally, I thought it might be comparable to other notable weekly papers like Boston's Weekly Dig and the East Bay Express, so I was surprised when Google News turned up only a single hit (to their homepage). Their website doesn't even feature news. It's all movie listings, train schedules, classifieds, personals, and so on. I think it definitely fails #1-4 of WP:NME. As for #5, I don't know how it can be called a significant publication in the niche market of Mysore if all they do is publish advertising. Braincricket (talk) 00:30, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I realize that the article includes a scanned image of the front page of a paper, presumably the Praje, which includes news stories. Maybe my inability to find sources is the result of systemic bias. If someone can show that the Praje is a significant publication for the community of Mysore, then I'd be willing to change my mind about deletion. Braincricket (talk) 00:41, 29 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment: Sometimes some newspapers/magazines do exist for the sake of advertisement and most of the times these kind of magazines are distributed 'free of cost' to the public as to hype about their circulation. This kind of hype helps them to get advertisements at a premium rate. Normally the content of these magazines are advertisements and paid news. This is just a general opinion and not a specific comment w.r.t to the subject. IMHO and as per my information it is not at all a notable news paper/magazine for sure. -- Bharathiya (talk) 04:17, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
