The TransGen Times

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a web newspaper which makes no substantive or properly sourced claim of notability that would pass either WP:NMEDIA or WP:WEB. Article, further, was written by the site's own editor, a WP:COI violation. This might qualify for a Wikipedia article if proper sources supporting a proper claim of notability could be added, but it's not entitled to keep an unsourced advertisement which just asserts that it exists.

 * Delete Existing is not enough for GNG. No sources, no notability. --Randykitty (talk) 15:46, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - No independent sources exist to satisfy the requirements in WP:NRV.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:24, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Resources added - 2 verifiable resources as to existence of the newspaper have been added. --RachaelRoseLuckey (talk) 18:18, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Being able to verify that a thing exists is not enough to entitle it to a Wikipedia article — the sources you added still fail to confirm any claim that would pass the notability criteria at WP:NMEDIA. And since you're the founder of the publication I need to advise you to familiarize yourself with our conflict of interest rules. Bearcat (talk) 00:06, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
