Paso Robles Daily News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completely unreferenced article about a community hyperlocal news website, with no credible claim to passing WP:NMEDIA or WP:NWEB. Although this did previously cite references which were stripped from the article without explanation by an editor within the past 24 hours, they were entirely primary sources that are not support for notability at all, with no evidence of coverage about it in any media independent of itself -- so simply reverting the removal of the references wouldn't salvage the article. As always, websites are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- they need to have coverage about them, in sources independent of their own self-published web presence, to become notable enough for inclusion. There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the article was created by a virtual WP:SPA with a username potentially suggestive of the website's owner and publisher.

 * Delete Not even close to meeting WP:NMEDIA or WP:NWEB searches yield basically the website, and then facebook, youtube, medium, linkedin and like along with maybe a directory listing. We have basically no information on this aside from what it provides about itself, you can't write an article based on that. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:68BA:3B32:8613:8B6D (talk) 03:29, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
