 * Delete as this is a non-notable students newspaper, only relevant to those at the university. There has been little improvement since last nomination, and I still fail to see how this article could ever be notable The Islander 21:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unsourced, unreferenced, and lacks any notability. TerriersFan 22:19, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per The Islander and TerriersFan.  Doesn't seem very notable. Eggy49er 01:39, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete While I think university newspapers are notable, I could find nothing about this one Corpx 03:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep It has improved since last time - the list of editors has been updated (showing some of the ex-editors humble beginnings in the publishing industry) and, as noted before, it is notable because it is an independent printed news sources in a unique environment of learning.

 * Comment - Notability comes from reliable secondary sources attesting to the notability of the subject of the page - this article has none - clear failure to meet WP:V. TerriersFan 21:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Also, quick question: how is the University of Reading any more a "unique environment of learning" than any other university in the UK, or indeed the world? The Islander 21:20, 10 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: does not meet the primary notability criterion of multiple, non-trivial sources independent of the subject. There's nothing in the article even worth merging into Reading University Students' Union - although a properly referenced paragraph there would be appropriate and adequate coverage. — mholland (talk) 22:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
