 * Doing a WP:BEFORE search, it turns up these to start, just about the shutdown:
 * (from behind the editorial firewall, so counts as independent IMO)
 * I could see a plausible case for merging, but you need to make that case, not treat this as though it were a blatantly non-notable topic. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 05:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)Edited 17:24, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * the first, from dallasnews.com, is from the publisher of Neighborsgo, so it doesn't work here. The third, from SNPA, is the first article republished. The only real source there is the D Magazine, but even that hardly counts as significant coverage. – Broccoli &#38; Coffee  (Oh hai) 05:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oops, I should've caught that the SNPA was republishing. On the first source, I disagree. It's a reported article by their business reporter, not a press release. It's clearly therefore behind their editorial firewall, the entire purpose of which is to ensure independence. The Dallas Morning News is a legacy newspaper that we can trust to maintain that separation.
 * That said, even if it ends up clearing the GNG bar, there's clearly not that much to say about it, so I'm fine with turning it into a redirect to The Dallas Morning News and maybe adding a sentence about it there. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 05:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking on Google Books, I see two mentions:
 * Both take the form of examples that are on the border of the WP:100 words threshold, so they don't move me away from a redirect stance. &#123;{u&#124; Sdkb  }&#125;  talk 05:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah on further thought, I'm completely fine with your suggestion of a redirect to The Dallas Morning News, and I think a mention there is more than fair as well. – Broccoli &#38; Coffee  (Oh hai) 02:13, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Dallas Morning News per above, as possibly worth a brief mention there. The book sources would be helpful for that purpose, but I don't see enough for a standalone article, especially given that the only coverage I seem to find in news sources is about it being shut down. -- Kinu t/c 16:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
