The result was no consensus (thus keep). -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 11:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I'm flummoxed. I've been at Cal for nine years and have never even heard of this publication. If this is distributed free of charge on campus it must be somewhere I've never been to. But since this could be my oversight I tried to look into circulation numbers, but the Patriot conveniently forgets to mention them [1]. So I looked at independent coverage it received. It turns out (per Newsbank) that the editor was cited in one article in the Oakland Tribune on "Which political party has whinier children?" A check on Lexis-Nexis for coverage on University Wire gave me five articles total, all by the Daily Californian. So absent other sources I propose deletion as a marginal student publication with no non-trivial independent coverage. ~ trialsanderrors 01:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
