Palos Verdes Peninsula News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. Completely unsourced article about a community newspaper in a small suburb of a larger city. WP:NMEDIA does not grant an automatic presumption of notability to all newspapers that exist -- a newspaper still has to be the subject of reliable source coverage to qualify for a Wikipedia article, and does not get a "no sourcing required" freebie just because its own self-published website or an online archive of its issues nominally verifies that it existed. I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can actually find some reliable sourcing about it, but nothing in the article right now is enough. Bearcat (talk) 17:40, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete concur with nom. No independent coverage cited nor found. MB 04:43, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Worthless article given the absence of citations, although a Wikipedia search shows that this article, or a redirect to someplace that discusses the topic, is needed.  Delete as per WP:DEL7, with WP:IAR added as WP:V is a core content policy, and our readers deserve articles that satisfy our core content policies.

 * Redirect to California Digital Newspaper Collection as the subject is mentioned there; Palos Verdes Peninsula News is part of the collection; here's a sample page: link. I cannot find RS at this time for a stand-alone article, but worth redirecting. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:27, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * ,, -- what would you guys think about a redirect? K.e.coffman (talk) 01:37, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think a redirect would be particularly useful since the target doesn't say anything about this paper except that it existed, but I have no objection either. A similar situation came up recently with Bahía del Duque where the AFD result was redirect to a list also (you may remember you voted for this). But User:Doncram turned the list into a table so a sentence or two could be added to each entry.  That would be good here too. MB 03:15, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - No redirect as the paper is not covered at all in RS. Meatsgains (talk) 03:01, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep for now at least. I'm looking to see if this can be improved. There's a chance it could be. This one may just scrape by. Karl Twist (talk) 05:13, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
