Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Utusan Borneo
In my view the subject is notable. The notability is both inherent and derived from |significant coverage in reliable sources. On the inherent side, it is the first fully Malay-language newspaper in Sabah, which is a significant development for a state in which Malay is the official language. A ''broadsheet'' newspaper with circulation across two Malaysian states (Sabah and Sarawak) and one foreign country (Brunei) could scarcely not be notable. On the coverage side, the article doesn't have as many sources as I'd like. The one source given is clearly significant coverage. News searches show there is other coverage out there. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to expand the article with many more sources because most of the coverage seems to be in Malay language. Obviously, much if not most of the coverage of this Malay-language newspaper is in Malay. That can be seen in the raft of articles on the back pages of a google news search. As for the nominator's reasons for deletion: (1) The article as it existed a couple of days ago was a little bit spammy. But it's not any more -- it's just not referenced as well as it could be. (2) "does not cite any outside sources" is plainly wrong
