Delete Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. notability guidelines for organizations. There are no independent, third party reliable sources nor can I locate anything about them rather than by them. Jbh ^Talk 19:25, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not demonstrate notability. - Scarpy (talk) 22:08, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, it appears to be a local interest/promotional publication, no indication or evidence of notability. PK T(alk) 13:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a leftover from about a decade ago, when Wikipedia was a lot more lax about the notability standards for newspapers — it used to be that a newspaper was extended a presumption of notability as long as its existence was verifiable via its own self-published website. But that's not the standard that applies today: a newspaper, even a major market alt-weekly like Now or The Georgia Straight, still has to be sourceable to some evidence of reliable source coverage in sources independent of itself to clear WP:NMEDIA in 2018. I can't, however, find any evidence of the kind of sourcing that's required — even on a deep ProQuest search, all I can find is a handful of glancing namechecks of its existence in coverage of other things or people.
