The colby echo

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Promotional article about a non-notable student newspaper. Reads like a copy and paste from somewhere. Fails WP:GNG, WP:SPAM andy (talk) 14:23, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Andy: 1) It is not a paste from somewhere, google before you make that claim. 2) We are in the process of adding sources. 3) If we are not notable enough for a wiki page, then we need to start deleting other weekly campus newspapers' wiki pages.


 * Keep GNews gives dozens upon dozens of hits. Mangoe (talk) 14:42, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Note I've moved the article for proper capitalization. Mangoe (talk) 14:46, 14 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to Colby College. Google hits don't make a student newspaper notable, coverage in reliable, independent sources does.  If more independent sources are available then I'm sure this page would be worth keeping on its own. The argument that other pages need to be deleted doesn't help this one; see WP:ALLORNOTHING. §everal⇒|Times 16:41, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * merge A few university and college newspapers are notable as such, but they are the exception. There's no reason to think this is one of them  DGG ( talk ) 02:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Upon reexamination of the article I'm inclined to go along with a merge to Colby College. Mangoe (talk) 13:40, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
