Article provides no evidence of notability Jackmcbarn (talk) 00:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, yes, it does, see the circulation figues (daily with 26,500 is notable). The fact that it unsourced is another issue, but not grounds for deletion. --Soman (talk) 04:18, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's unclear what newspaper, if any, this article refers to. The first revision, which is identical to the current one barring an unsubstantiated claim of affiliation with The International Herald Tribune and some copyediting, links to niletube.com as the official website. "Nile Tube News" gets nine hits on Google, while the website looks amateur and has no about page. Daily News Egypt, which was affiliated with the IHT, has its own article. —Neil 21:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment. The supposed owner, Small Business Associates Group, gets only three hits on Google: this article and two mentions of a company in Kentucky. —Neil 06:14, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, you did this search in English only, I suppose? --Soman (talk) 23:57, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, I was lazy and decided not to, since I assumed that a company that owned a notable English newspaper would be mentioned somewhere in English. But since you asked, I just tried some searches on possible Arabic translations and came up with nothing. —Neil 03:28, 7 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No evidence of notability. Deb (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, an uncited, unverified circulation figure does not notability make. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:31, 10 February 2014 (UTC).[reply]
