[edit] The Ripple (newspaper)
A couple of sources, neither of which is primarily about this student newspaper. A lot of original research. Copious vanity namechecks. And that is about it. Guy (Help!) 01:52, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - Newspapers are notable media outlets. Remove copious vanity namechecks if necessary. FCYTravis 22:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - clearly needs work, but most student newspapers for UK universities have seperate articles and there is some valid information here.
- Comment - I have given the article attention, removing the staffbox (WP:NOT a masthead) and taking out the original research/poorly sourced criticisms. FCYTravis 00:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - This but clean up to remove vanity namechecks etc. Wikify rather than DeleteGazMan7 13:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - not really appropriate to merge with University of Leicester, possibly University_of_Leicester_Students'_Union although the paper is a seperate entity.
Delete, this page serves no useful purpose except for people to boost their egos and others to criticise a perfectly good student newspaper.
