The current article cites very few sources, and the sources that it cites are only those that verify the job and credentials of a single alumna who has her own Wikipedia page. One of the sources listed is "Purdue Exponent staff," with no further specification, indicating that there may have been a WP:COI involved in the creation and editing the page. I've looked, and I can't find any reliable sources that make reference to the newspaper in any non-trivial way. For that reason, the paper does not appear to meet WP:GNG and the page should be deleted. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 07:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

- Keep Unfortunate that sources were not added to this when written, but some I found include [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Reywas92Talk 00:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Keep. Some of the sources from Reywas92 are more clear qualifiers than others, but ones such as 6 and 7 are very solid. There are also several articles from the SPLC here. Overall, passes GNG. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:39, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
