The Herald of Arkansas State University
Marked as speedy but a "hangon" was placed on it by its creator. It was created during the debate on afd for the identical ASU Herald. In its current form, a smerge is probably the best option, though a case could clearly be made for outright deletion. Iff the creator of this can show notability during the course of this afd debate to the point where it's keepable, then so be it. If not, it's definitely a deletion candidate. Grutness...wha?  23:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If it's notable (which I don't think it is), then Move to 'Arkansas State University Herald'. Otherwise, Delete. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 23:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned before, right now I cannot name the awards because the awards are located in the office. However, I do know that none of the awards came "from the school" since the school has no awards to give to its own student run newspaper.  My question to you is, what makes my article less notable than the article on the Daily Sundial or the Fairfield Mirror.  Neither of these articles list awards or any other reason to be considered "notable."PandaRico 23:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Thanks. I added "unreferenced" and "cleanup" tags to the Daily Sundial article. The Fairfield Mirror article has some content and cites a source for its claim of notability, so without further investigation it looks like the former might be due for an Afd as well but not the latter. You should have several days to improve your article by making sure there is a claim of notability with multiple reliable and verifiable sources to back it up. Take a look at some other college papers for examples. As for what to call the article about your paper, what does its masthead say? What is it commonly called on the campus, if different from the above? Redirects can be added. Edison 23:41, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I was able to find a brochure with some information in it that I hope should make the article suitable. Please give me your input.  I have also included an external link to a website that contains information on contacting the department's chair for confirmation or extra information.


 * delete It's a college newspaper; barring some special claim of notability, a line or two in the university article should suffice. --Brianyoumans 03:30, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I urge you to look at these Wikipedia college newspaper articles and give them the same attention you have given mine. I realize that my page may be lacking in the amount of content as compared to a few of the articles, but the potential is there, I just need more time to add.PandaRico 04:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep Give it a chance, for crying out loud. It was VFD'd within minutes of creation, let her add some info to prove it's notability. T1g4h 03:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The reason it was VFD'd within minutes of creation was because that it's a clone of ASU Herald, which is also up for deletion. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 03:28, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Then Delete the clone but Keep the original for aforementioned reasoning of giving it a chance. T1g4h 09:37, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Or, better yet, why not just have one Redirect to the other? T1g4h 09:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Because I can't imagine anybody calling it 'The Herald of Arkansas State University'. And votes for the original go on its AfD page at Articles for deletion/ASU Herald
 * I prefer this page for "The Herald of Arkansas State University" because that -is- the real name of the paper...PandaRico 17:49, 22 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Fine. Same vote made at the other. T1g4h 23:54, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
