Page is pretty much just an "about us" with no significant external coverage - references are the newspaper's website or lists of businesses. Didn't find anything in a BEFORE search, though it's possible I missed something since most of my searches turned up articles from the subject itself. Page appears to have been created by the paper's founder. creffett (talk) 00:51, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MichaelSMcDermott (talk) 20:20, 13 December 2019 (UTC) The subject of this Wiki has been in publication since 2009, and has over 3,000 readers a day. The local subject matter is pulled from a community of only 10,000, so there is very little external "buzz" made about it as would a publication serving a larger community. As this is a small town digital publication, Wikipedia is being utilized to document the newspapers that came before it, as well as the ones that come after. Unlike metros that have consistent news sources across generations, the news industry in smaller towns often go bankrupt, creating a "news desert". Wikipedia is the sole neutral place to find documentation about where to source stories a decade ago for Tipp City, Ohio. As for the link/mention of Bash Foo and the publisher, that too is done so that people seeking out information about news in this town can find out how to contribute, support, and build upon this effort. Also, without the individual efforts of the publisher, there is no publication. TippNews DAILY is listed in the [| Reynolds Journalism Institute national registry of news sites], which should alone support it's continuance here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelSMcDermott (talk • contribs) 20:09, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
