The Mirror (UNC Newspaper)

Doesn't pass WP:LOCAL as all the sources and extended reading is tied to the university and a search turns up very little of note. Travellingcari (talk) 02:29, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. It's supposedly the official newspaper of the school, but we could use some better verification. I'll admit this is borderline. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Pardon my WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, but tons of college newspapers have pages. The article could use a rewrite (why is noting which section the Sudoku is in encyclopedic?) but I see no reason to delete it. WP:LOCAL is an essay anyway, not a policy. Oren0 (talk) 07:05, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep student newspapers that are the main newspapers of important universities and colleges are generally considered  notable enough for articles--(They are even, within limits, usually considered reliable sources for articles). probably Univ. of Northern Colorado is important enough,-- the title needs adjustment--before i saw the article, I thought we were going to be discussing one at the University of North Carolina. Better sources are however needed--there should be sources for student journalism. DGG (talk) 19:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Student newspapers are encyclopedic. Improve the sourcing and the title, though. FCYTravis (talk) 21:30, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - not disagreeing, but can anyone tell me by what consensus they;re notable. I looked in Outcomes, etc. but didn't find anything otherwise I wouldn't have nominated this, obviously. I still think the article needs independent sourcing as well. Travellingcari (talk) 21:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Student newspapers are the publication of record for universities and colleges across the world, and are inextricably linked with the academics of journalism, a recognized professional field. The history of student journalism is of great interest, given the battles over free speech, prior restraint and publication control they have been involved in for more than 100 years. In short, there are encyclopedic stories to be told about them. FCYTravis (talk) 21:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
