[edit] The Daily Campus (SMU)
Individual student groups and campus publications are not generally notable, and this article is virtually contentless. (Unless you really need to know their publication schedule?) About 200 unique hits, a decent number of which are general college information aggregates. Opabinia regalis 03:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
DeleteMerge and Redirect as non-notable publication. Someone should probably trawl through List of student newspapers as most of those with articles would probably fail the same test --Steve 03:38, 26/30 October 2006 (UTC)- Keep. Student newspapers are often notable, particularly when they are in the news themselves as an opposition voice on campus or as a victim of theft or vandalism. Take a look at The Daily Campus (a newspaper in Connecticut with the same name) as an example of how the article should be expanded. For example, a list of notable alumni of the paper would be helpful, as well as a discussion of how the paper itself was in the news, backed up by citations from other media. Being a stub is not itself reason for an article to be deleted. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 04:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- That 'student newspapers are often notable' does not mean that this one is! --Steve 04:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Southern Methodist University - all of the information in this article is already contained in the in the SMU one. This article is just a rewrite and it doesn't assert the subject's notability. Ultra-Loser Talk / Contributions 06:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect per above. Eusebeus 09:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to SMU, and thus with all college newspapers unless they're making news themselves (e.g. the hateful Dartmouth Review). Geogre 11:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect or failing that, Delete. Only a tiny handful of student newspapers are encycloepdic. the vast majority are not. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

- Merge - Merge the content into the schools page. It is only 2 or 3 lines and would honsetly be seen more on the schools page than as its own article. Chris Kreider 18:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. The article has improved a bit since it was nominated. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 17:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
