 * Neither having ceased publication (if that is true) nor having a redirecting website is a valid reason for deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:29, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Quite true. And I was wrong to put them as the reasons for the deletion nomination. More accurate reason could've been the issue of notability. Since Wikipedia is not everything, why should we have an article reserved for a newspaper which seems to have ceased publication (as a separate paper), with litte or no sources suggesting their notability?

 * merge to the sister newspaper as the sensible compromise solution. Presumably it continues the coverage of the earlier one.  DGG ( talk ) 04:38, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
