 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was soft delete. Because of low participation, even with two relistings, I'll restore this article on demand, but I'll most likely just start a new AFD on it. Deor (talk) 10:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

The Elgin Review

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Weekly newspaper with a circulation of 1055 (Nebraska Press Association), serving Elgin, Nebraska, population 661. Article contains no assertions of notability. A Google search for ("elgin review" nebraska) turns up no evidence of in-depth coverage by independent sources. An online history of Elgin includes one sentence about the newspaper. Nebraska governor Val Peterson (served 1947–53) published the Review from 1936 to 1946 (see online bio) but Google search for ("val peterson" "elgin review") doesn't turn up any evidence of coverage meeting WP:GNG. Unless weekly newspapers automatically meet notability standards, this one apparently doesn't. Ammodramus (talk) 20:38, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete not much to show notability besides maybe it being a newspaper, a quick look through lists of newspapers by state shows that many do not have articles, a listing on a state list may be all that can be guaranteed. It's also already mentioned in its city article. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 20:51, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
