 * someone is trying to find investors to expand a newspaper they started in high school. The article is full of potential possible future plans. 'Synthesis + "Aaron Kao"' (the founder of the newspaper) gets 2 google hits. Maximus Rex 03:28, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Borders on self-confessed vanity. Non-noteable.  Delete.  SWAdair | Talk  04:02, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Personal promotion. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 04:11, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Looked at it again after these changes that are supposed to render my vote inapplicable. It's still personal promotion, still delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:11, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * The entry has been edited to a point that this vote for deletion no longer applies. It is now merely a report of its history and future.  Keep. -- A7Zulu 11:31, 10 Jun 2004
 * Simply a history of a newspaper's development and future. Keep. -- RebelGuys2 12:54, 10 Jun 2004
 * User:RebelGuys2 account doesn't exist. Above edit made logged out, probably by A7Zulu. Maximus Rex 02:30, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Ooh, my sockpuppet sense is tingling! Delete on grounds of near non-existence. - Lucky 6.9 23:58, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not yet notable.  After they have successfully expanded, an article might be appropriate (but it would be far more credible if someone else wrote it). Rossami 02:19, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Seeing that the article has changed from what it was initially, the reason for deletion is no longer valid. Keep.--Noromaru 11:46, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Noromaru's sole edit is this comment. Sockpuppet. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:11, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Considering the article in its original form (essentially overwriting the article on Chemical Synthesis) and after being moved over to its current location, I think that most of the original reasoning for deletion (self-promotion, looking for investors, etc) is irrelevant. Keep it. Shane Lin 04:25, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Even without the blatant "Investors" section, it still doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion. Six issues over two years just isn't notable.  When it becomes notable, then it will deserve an article.  The Wikipedia is not the place to promote up-and-coming newspapers, bands, authors, anything.  Sorry, folks, but my vote remains unchanged.

 * Delete promptly - David Gerard 13:24, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: promotion, nonnotable. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:26, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
