The Harvard Salient

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I am nominating this article for deletion because its subject seems non-notable (see WP:GNG).

I noticed this article had no sources, so it was my plan to add sources. However, I was only able to find this article here (republished here) mentioning it. Additionally, because the author of this source is a former editor of The Harvard Salient, I don't know that the source is "independent of the subject".

The notability guidelines for student media described in WP:STUDENTMEDIA don't seem to make exceptions to the more general notability guidelines described in WP:NMEDIA. Therefore, because the subject of this article does not appear to have significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and because it does not appear to be cited in reliable sources, I think the subject of this article is non-notable, and the article should be deleted. palindrome§ǝɯoɹpuᴉןɐd 03:48, 8 March 2022 (UTC) Relisting comment: Noting the previous AFD.

 * Delete: I'm not seeing any sources out there, one way or another (the bare handful of items I've found merely namedrop it, mostly in association with Ross Douthat). It doesn't help that the link to this publication's site is broken. The article sources none of its assertions, has never been adequately sourced, it punctures holes in NPOV, it is substantially unimproved in fifteen years, it's been tagged for nearly a decade, and violates WP:NOTINHERITED and the GNG.  (Heck, it isn't even the most prominent right-wing paper on campus.)   Ravenswing      08:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete, the previous AfD was rejected on the basis of 'bad faith', in that another longstanding publication had also been nominated for deletion. This is not a reason to keep the article now. I can't find significant coverage of this publication, fails WP:NMEDIA. SailingInABathTub (talk) 13:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
