The Mac Weekly

 * Keep as I have now added a couple of references to the article, admittedly one published by the newspaper itself, for verifiability purposes. Per WP:NMEDIA, notability is presumed for newspapers, magazines and journals that "have a significant history" and nearly 96 years of publishing satisfies that criteria. Another notability criterion is "are frequently cited by other reliable sources" and a trip through the Google News archives uncovers The Mac Weekly being cited by the Chicago Tribune ("With that in mind, the local student newspaper, "The Mac Weekly," took the streak-breaking story in stride, burying it on page 6.") and The New York Times ("The judgment of the campus paper, The Mac Weekly, came the next morning in a three-panel cartoon of Mr. Humphrey with balloons inscribed "blah, blah, blah"), among numerous other sources. (Searching is complicated by the frequent juxtaposition of "Mac" and "weekly" in reference to computers and college sports.) - Dravecky (talk) 23:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
