Small-ish bi-weekly student paper. Best of Show at a statewide CMA competition was the best I could find. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 17:54, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Campbell University, where the additional detail about the paper's history and circulation will be a positive addition. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:54, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge per the rationale of above. A valid WP:ATD-M. North America1000 03:00, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep We keep university newspapers just as we keep small town newspapers and small defunct newspapers, because, as User:doncram states at Articles for deletion/The University Register, "it is a lot like how we are a gazetteer for places, these are places that are sources."E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I did say what E.M.Gregory quotes.  It does seem to me that newspapers are fundamental elements of an encyclopedia, the atoms that we rely upon for everything else.  We are a "gazetteer" about places, basically willing to cover most places that have any sourcing about them, and newspapers are even more basic.  Here, with The Campbell Times, we have a newspaper that lived just two years, but it is a source, and currently we know about it from this article that someone went through the bother of figuring out, and it should be kept. -- do  ncr  am  19:03, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Note, the suggestion above that it could be merged to Campbell University is reasonable on its face, but in fact the article is too long already to merge back. One sentence in the University article is about right.  It is reasonable to split out the newspaper article as too much material for the university.  It is four sentences plus some information in the infobox and in categories/links;  it is a reasonable editorial decision to split it out.  It is also too much information already to be merged into a list of defunct newspapers in the state. -- do  ncr  am  19:08, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
