Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soton Tab
for notability concerns. (Although COI is discussed above, COI is not the issue here and is not a rationale for deleting articles.) I sympathize with the editor's desire to see a Wikipedia article about his publication, but the fact is that Wikipedia does not have an article about every student publication in the world - only those that can demonstrate that they have some notability. This is an international encyclopedia and there are criteria for what kinds of things can have a standalone article here. Please read the Wikipedia criteria at  as people here keep urging you. This online-only, 2 year old publication has simply not yet generated |significant coverage from independent reliable sources, which is required regardless of whether it is judged as an |organization or as a |webpage or blog. In fact, the 70-year-old Wessex Scene only qualifies because it won a national award from The Guardian. (BTW how do you judge the "readership" of an online paper or compare it to a print journal? In any case an online viewership of 5,000-10,000 is not very impressive by Wikipedia standards.) If this article does get deleted, all is not lost; you can add a paragraph or so about the Soton Tab to the article University of Southampton, perhaps in the "Student Life" section
