Newry Democrat

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Article makes no claim to notability. The only secondary source coverage that I have been able to find is about the controversy when it was sold ((like this). That controversy should be a section of Alpha Newspaper Group if it is covered at all and this article should changed to a redirect to that page.  Andrew327 16:17, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes GNG, with substantive coverage about this publication in other reliable sources like Belfast Telegraph and the BBC (as shown by the GNews search results that show up from the link at the top of this AfD. We should certainly not go out of our way to delete a notable newspaper. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:59, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You would make a better case for Keep if you added those sources to the article. Crtew (talk) 09:03, 26 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Leaning Keep - Appears to meet WP:GNG per ongoing coverage. A merge could be discussed on the article's talk page. Source examples:, , , (short article). Northamerica1000(talk) 03:11, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- I would regard all the local rags as notable. The possible exception may be local newspapers, which became defunct long ago after a short period of publication.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep While Wikipedia may not be a newspaper but even local news media publications can carry a lot of notability. NA's findings make for a very solid argument for GNG. Mkdw talk 07:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
