XPRESS, UAE

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Originally listed as a speedy delete, it was contested with the contention that this is an important newspaper in the UAE. I changed this to a PROD and posted on the talkpage that it needed to be demonstrated with reliable sources that the contention is true. This was deprodded with no appreciable evidence provided that this is in any way notable, so I'm nominating it for AfD. Isotope23 13:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, the article's main contributor just posted a list of links on Talk:XPRESS, UAE that may demonstrate notability. I've not had a chance to read through them yet, and some appear to be blogs, which are not reliable sources really, but some are from more established publications and may demonstrate notability here.--Isotope23 14:06, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Good enough for me... Trade Arabia is part of the MSN network and XPRESS is covered in quite a substantial article. The paper has just been launched about a week ago, so non-notability claims are understandable, but it does appear to be the subject of multiple reliable sources, and is published by the company that produces Gulf News. --Canley 14:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand; start with merging the articles into the main article. Alba 18:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep notable topic. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 04:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Now that I've had a chance to go through the provided references. I agree with retention here.  Since there are no !votes other than keep, I'm going to withdraw the nomination.--Isotope23 19:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
