The Chronicle (Duke University)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete per WP:NOT and WP:NOTE: Though someone has obviously but a good deal of effort into this article, Wikipedia is not a random collection of college clubs. Also, this organization has not demonstrated how it has externally-verifiable notability per WP:NOTE. None of the sources are secondary sources, which means they cannot establish notability. I'm sure WP:V is satisfied; if sources were brought to bear which were independent of the establishment, and a thorough purging (by fire, of course) of the article were to be had (ie, to not use all those citations to Duke), then this would be a keep, but as it is, the article does not meet the requirements for inclusion.

 * Keep The primary student newspaper from a well known university is definitely notable. Additionally. the nominator is an anon IP whose only edits have been AfDs. Edit history and user name suggest a single-purpose account.--Rtphokie (talk) 17:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article contains plausible claims of the notability of the subject. I would reconsider if it were seriously alleged that they are unverifiable. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:06, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep certainly notable for those familiar with Duke University and its environs.  DRosenbach  ( Talk 19:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
