The result was delete. Yes, there is no quorum here, but even the main commenter admits that it does not exist any more. The website of the same name has a total of 12 advertisements on it. This is therefore an IAR delete, but appears to be a sensible one. Black Kite (talk) 14:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

You tried finding secondary sources on Google however there are no sources on Google. The Daily Echo / Southern Daily Echo lost interest in The Southampton Advertiser in 2008 and have failed to provide any historical evidence regarding the domain. You can clearly see on the Web Archive that in 2002 it was owned/advertised as The Hampshire Chronicle.

Any other references to The Southampton Advertiser's history do not exist. It is still a well known name throughout Southampton and many people (roughly 300 per month) still search for it. I'm not sure how to prove this as I'm unaware on how to link to Google Keyword Planner as you need an account to use it or if you know how to use it.
