Appears to be a non-notable collegiate newspaper. No WP:SIGCOV outside of an article in a hyper-local newspaper ([1]) seems to exist. Likely created as a vanity page judging by the LinkedIn link as well, but that is beyond the point. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NNEWSPAPER. Curbon7 (talk) 02:37, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rogers_State_University#Media where it may warrant a mention alongside the campus TV and radio station. Even if there are one or two reliable independent sources directly about this newspaper (and not, for instance, about people who happened to write for the paper in college), I can't see more than a paragraph being warranted without descending into promotion or trivia, and it makes sense to keep it with the college. Not everything verifiable belongs in an encyclopedia per WP:VNOTSUFF, even if a topic warranted its own stand-alone article. --Animalparty! (talk) 05:36, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Selective Merge to Rogers State University#Media, since it's not currently mentioned there, but does probably warrant a mention. Agree that this student newspaper does not pass GNG, as Claremore, Oklahoma is a small town of less than 20,000 inhabitants its local media almost certainly does not have the resources to be a reliable source.
