Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP, only one source and it's simply a directory of various newspapers. Waggie (talk) 03:37, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep/merge There's an obvious alternative to deletion – merger to Deepika (newspaper) – which is the parent morning edition. We prefer this per our editing policy, WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 09:41, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I'd be fine with a merge. As a side note, I've removed the unsourced and promotional content from Deepika (newspaper). Waggie (talk) 04:10, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge to Deepika (newspaper); a fine WP:ATD-M option. North America1000 02:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes the WP:GNG per WP:SIGCOV, WP:RS, and WP:NEXIST. See also parallel nominations of Indian newspapers, all clearly failing WP:BEFORE. gidonb (talk) 03:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC) Merge. See below. gidonb (talk) 05:44, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, you keep saying I've failed to do WP:BEFORE, but strangely enough, I did. I'd appreciate if you would stop making unsubstantiated remarks like this. I'm trying to improve the encyclopedia here, as presumably you are. Could we keep this professional and courteous, please? Also, would you please point out the WP:SIGCOV and such that you refer to? Thanks! Waggie (talk) 03:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't mind seeing said sources either. Perhaps they may sway my opinion away from a merge...or maybe not. Without being able to assess the sources stated as existent, I'll stick with merge. North America1000 04:16, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * My bad. In this case merger is in order. I'll take the sources that I collected over to Deepika (newspaper). gidonb (talk) 05:43, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
