The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There is no consensus to delete, only deletion alternatives, which can be done outside of AfD. Two people explicitly say that the article clearly passes WP:GNG. If anyone wants me to reverse the close, I will do so as soon as possible. This is long overdue for a close – 4 days, in fact, and I feel that NC is the best option here.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP, only sources are primary. Waggie (talk) 03:30, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy delete~~. The newspaper, with a daily circulation of over 150,000 may prove to be notable enough but the current article (right from the first draft) is a copyvio of the newspaper's About Us page and thus needs to be speedy-deleted. No prejudice against recreation if article is rewritten and included citations indicate that WP:GNG has been met. Abecedare (talk) 06:33, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten the article as a stub, citing the basic facts to another source. Andrew D. (talk) 13:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Andrew. I have scratched out my speedy delete recommendation; will comment on notability of subject once I have had the time to examine available sources in greater detail. Abecedare (talk) 14:51, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-We have several sources already and there are obvious alternatives to deletion such as merger to a list such as List of newspapers in India. Andrew D. (talk) 13:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Already? ∯WBG^converse 10:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of newspapers in India - Whilst I disagree with Waggie that all sources are primary, certainly the nomination is valid in the sense that NCORP and GNG are not met.A bunch of trivial mentions do not grant an independent article.∯WBG^converse 10:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article clearly passes the WP:GNG. It passes WP:NMEDIA as well. Ample WP:RS online, of which I just added a second one to the article. This nomination is part of a unfortunate series (see for example Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sambad) that clearly fails WP:BEFORE and WP:NEXIST. gidonb (talk) 02:25, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
