[edit] Bexley News
Non notable newspaper, no reliable sources cited. Prod was removed with a sarcastic comment by an IP. J Milburn (talk) 19:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment. A quick Google search indicates that the Bexley News won a Suburban News Awards honorable mention. I need to verify it against independent sources. Beyond that, this looks like a case of a newbie taking a deletion tag personally. If the editor can get the point about WP:RS, this article might be salvageable. • Gene93k (talk) 19:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Merge to Bexley, Ohio which, as the article says, is a small town and "nothing goes on there". It's in the same county as Columbus, O., and I doubt this is much more than a classified advertising vehicle dressed up as a "suburban newspaper". Mandsford (talk) 21:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, it's the Bexley edition of a suburban regional newspaper.[1] The whole thing could have an article but the paper itself is not sufficiently notable. A good portion of the web hits are to a paper in England and many others are simply unrelated. --Dhartung | Talk 22:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep or merge to Bexley, Ohio. Is only a stub anyway which would slot into a local media section of the parent article. Many well-developed articles on suburbs will have media sections. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:29, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- Merge as suggested. Bearian (talk) 16:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, every small town has a newspaper, their non-notability is actually parodied by the Springfield Shopper. Blast Ulna (talk) 17:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
