Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicago Weekly
First off, there are tens of thousands of "legitimate newspapers" out there that fail either of notability or verifiability: how many towns of any size in the United States, for instance, ''don't'' have some manner of local weekly?  Secondly, following DroEsperanto's comment, "winning awards" is not part of any notability guideline on Wikipedia; winning ''major, significant'' awards often is.  This isn't even the major student newspaper at the University of Chicago - The Chicago Maroon is.  As far as |reliable sources go discussing this paper in significant detail, as the GNG requires, it isn't easy, but "Chicago Weekly" + "university" on G-News returns a handful of hits referencing the paper's collapse and its rescue by an alternative area publication that doesn't seem itself to have an article.  I'd finally take the paper's claim to a "circulation" of 10,000 with an enormous grain of salt.  The ''entire student body'' of the University is only 14,000, counting graduate and part-time students.  Are they seriously suggesting that 2/3rds of the student body read not the main student paper, but an alternative student newspaper?  I'm willing to buy that the paper prints up 10,000 ''copies,'' but not a lot beyond that, and IMHO, claims to notability on that basis are deeply suspect and certainly unproven
