The Ball State Daily News does not appear to be notable. One of the current sources is a blogspot, five of the sources are published on the Ball State University website (*.bsu.edu), another source is the website of the paper itself, and two others are self-published awards ceremonies. I really can't find any references to the paper from a reliable, independent source that has covered it in a substantial way. As such, I think this article's topic fails to meet WP:GNG and should be deleted. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 07:46, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

- In a cursory search, I found [1] but not much else. Per WP:STUDENTNEWSPAPER, if this is found non-notable, it should be redirected, not deleted. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 05:51, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to Ball State University per WP:NMEDIA and WP:STUDENTNEWSPAPER. There is no evidence of significant, independent coverage (not even, oddly the awards) and redirection to the parent institution is the expected outcome in such cases. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
