The Oppidan Press

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NMEDIA, WP:NNEWSPAPER. The only source in the article is a primary source, written by an early editor of the newspaper. Apart from that there is no significant coverage of the newspaper in secondary RS. The newspaper gets mentioned for its photo license attribution or its twitter account in other media articles regarding the activity in the campus. Also important to note is that campus newspapers are very rarely notable as per University article guideline. Though the article was created nearly 12 years ago, it was pretty clearly created by a COI account (having a total of only 3 edits). The user also mentioned in its edit summary ''not meant to be an advertisement. It's just filling a gap since other South African student newspapers have wiki articles'', clearly pointing to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as the rationale for creating the article.
