replies: text: The Birmingham News →  – This article is currently written in the past tense with "Birmingham News was a newspaper" suggesting that further updates are not on topic.  However, this is not really accurate; just like a sports stadium changing its name does not imply a separate article should be made, the newspaper has merely gone digital-only and changed its name, the only hitch being that AL.com is effectively a merger with the Mobile Register and The Huntsville Times as well.  But The Birmingham News seems more important than the other two combined, so it's probably easier just to consider it as if the other two newspapers merged into it.  Either this article should be moved to AL.com (first choice) and cover the total history of the paper from 1888-present, or a new spin-off article AL.com should be made.  Given that AL.com won TWO Pulitzer Prizes today, that's surely enough for the digital edition to be notable all on its own, but a move seems preferred given that it's the same exact staff & management. SnowFire (talk) 00:53, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Really the main concern, IMO, is that there was also a merger of the three newspapers under the hood, even if they kept separate articles, due to media consolidation awhile back.  But per above comments, I think it's more intuitive to have one article that's a continuous history of the news operation, print & digital, than it is to create a fresh article.

message: Keep.  This article was put up for deletion by a single user (in good faith) who is blanket proposing that mayors of somewhat minor cities and towns be deleted.  While the precident seems established that a mayor of a non nationally-known city is not neccessarily notable, Lawrence is also not exactly a backwater.  This article says more about him than just "He's the mayor of a mid-sized city in a state full of mid-sized cities", but I will agree that it doesn't say a lot either.  I'm sure there's also not that much to say.  But frankly, I don't see the harm in leaving this article, as since Wikipedia is not paper (find that policy), we can have shorter articles on less important people.  There are only so many mayors in this world, and Lawrence is a city of approximately 80,000 people, known for its place in history and its current problems with poverty and employment.  I think we can find far less notable people to delete articles on. CSZero (talk) 20:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

2. The campaign page is down, as is the Boston Herald page.

message: There could be a disambiguation for this article. A young irish woman with this very name was recently drug-raped and strangled by two american citizenship black rappers in Tokyo.

I know very little about him after that date, but I figured that the information from the book was worth adding in, even if it does leave the page with a pretty gaping hole about his life between 1941 and 1988, when he died.
