Hey man im josh ( talk ) 14:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I would not agree with the assertion of advertising.  It's a fairly prominent entity at UConn with its share of history and controversy.  69.125.1.183 ( talk ) 14:25, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete .  fails WP:GNG and is just pure advertising, could be G11'able .  -- Wesoree ( talk · contribs ) 14:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC) Keep . The article just needs a little rewrite, then it's all fine. -- Wesoree ( talk · contribs ) 14:42, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Wesoree , Did you even google search it?  — Jacona ( talk ) 14:40, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  In one minute of google searchland, came up with plenty of WP:SIGCOV including [8] , [9] , [10] .  There's lots more, but this obviously meets WP:GNG .  This newspaper is 127 years old.  The article may not be great, but that's no reason for deletion, it's reason to improve it.  Jacona ( talk ) 14:44, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] ( edit conflict ) Merge with University of Connecticut#Student organizations ; only RS seems to be the Hartford Courant .  Jacona , please don't badger ! voters; if you find RS, add them to the article.  Mini apolis 14:45, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Asking one question is hardly badgering.  Please feel free to add RS to the article, your help in building the encyclopedia will be greatly appreciated! .  Jacona ( talk ) 14:57, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I've just added some, including items Jacona listed above.  – .  Raven .  talk 16:37, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I changed my mind.  We should Merge with University of Connecticut#Student organizations .  Chances last a finite time ( talk ) 14:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Chances last a finite time : Do you want to withdraw this nomination and replace the AFD tag with a merge tag?  ~ Anachronist ( talk ) 15:01, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Why do we not want to have that debate here?  Chances last a finite time ( talk ) 15:04, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] You're the nominator.  It's your prerogative to withdraw the nomination if nobody agrees with deletion.  ~ Anachronist ( talk ) 15:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I want to delete a lot of the article and merge some of it.  Do I need to debate that here?  Chances last a finite time ( talk ) 15:12, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "Delete a lot of the article" is a different matter than deleting the article outright.  If you believe there should be an article at all, you should withdraw the deletion nomination.  WP scatter t / c 17:19, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I withdraw the deletion nomination.  Chances last a finite time ( talk ) 13:14, 25 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep or merge but it needs massive paring down of completely unsourced sections.  ~ Anachronist ( talk ) 15:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] ... or to find and cite sources for them.  – .  Raven .  talk 15:55, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : the state's largest daily college newspaper, over 120 years old, with multiple other newspapers either reporting on it, citing its reporting, or reprinting its text verbatim (e.g. editorials), is clearly found notable by the press.  – .  Raven .  talk 15:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : Seems as though there's enough notability for an article, but I agree it has to be pared down and rewritten almost entirely.  WP scatter t / c 17:20, 23 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Sources identified by Jacona show a clear WP:NORG pass, and there are ample others.  The Hartford Courant , Connecticut's newspaper of record, alone has at least half a dozen articles focusing specifically on the paper.  Newspapers.com archives turn up plenty just under its current name: [1] [2] [3] [4] Many student newspapers that are far smaller/newer have survived AfD.  The nominator is a new user, but they should be aware that conflict of interest editing is not a valid reason to delete an article like this one that is not at all borderline on notability.  {{u| Sdkb }} talk 05:48, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Sdkb : Although, to be careful, the Hartford Courant has been the publisher of the Daily Campus since Fall 2016, as indicated in the infobox, so that may not be a truly WP:INDEPENDENT source.  Good thing the three refs you give are from before that date.  – .  Raven .  talk 19:42, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Ah, I hadn't seen that.  Good observation, but even for post-2016 coverage, I would be surprised if there were any independence issues.  "Publisher" in this sort of instance often just means "printer", i.e. The Daily Campus pays the Courant to print it each week, but the Courant doesn't look at the content, and any Courant reporters writing about The Daily Campus would be on the other side of its editorial firewall .  {{u| Sdkb }} talk 21:10, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I personally agree with that likelihood, but am aware that not everyone may; IOW, this is an area of possible, arguable challenge.  – .  Raven .  talk 21:14, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Needs a lot of cleanup and citation work, but meets WP:NORG criteria, with historical significance and extensive coverage in other newspapers and secondary sources.  Topshelver ( talk ) 12:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] just here to say that i've deleted much of the unsourced garbage.  lettherebedarklight 晚安 06:19, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep if it's large enough to expand.  I'm not familiar with it, so if it's not large enough, merge instead.  - AquilaFasciata ( talk | contribs ) 15:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] References ^ "Students, UConn Blamed For Paper's Poor Quality" .
