Merge/redirect to U@MQ, who own the publication. For clarity, this is not a flavour of keep since I see no justification for a standalone page. The fact that the publication is in a national library confers no notability; for example the British Library has a statutory duty to keep a copy of every book published in the UK even if it doesn't sell a single copy!

Comment - I note that Category:Australian student newspapers contains several publications that also have slender claims to notability; Interpellator, for example. TerriersFan (talk) 22:02, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I oppose redirect as Grapeshot refers to many other things. [2]. LibStar (talk) 13:05, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - please share with us what else Grapeshot (student publication) refers to? TerriersFan (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grapeshot (student publication) is an unlikely search term, especially with the brackets. LibStar (talk) 01:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the point; after merging the existing page cannot be deleted for GFDL reasons. TerriersFan (talk) 20:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Couldn't we just add a hatnote the the main Grapeshot article, after merging? Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 14:37, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - sorry but that is just cluttering. In any case, after merging the existing page cannot be deleted for GFDL reasons. TerriersFan (talk) 20:02, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect (as above) - Hmm. You're probably right about that, now that I think of it. I think your above proposal would be the best, then. Lord Spongefrog, (I am Czar of all Russias!) 18:12, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable student publication. I guess it could be merge/redirect to the university as well. Cocytus [»talk«] 20:15, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
