  • Keep The article has problems, but multiple stories in The Australian, The Wall Street Journal, and The Jerusalem Post make it difficult to argue that the Weekly Blitz doesn't meet WP:GNG, that it hasn't gained significant attention by the world at large. One could debate how much is about the founder and editor, and how much about his controversial tabloid newspaper - the raiding, bombing, and mobbing of its offices - but that would not support deletion, only, at worst, merging.
There is also evidence that the newspaper meets the fourth point of the applicable section of Wikipedia:Notability (media). Examples of being cited by other reliable sources include: [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Keep and improve. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:52, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The articles that I was able to access hardly said anything about the Weekly Blitz and instead discussed its founder, Choudhury. Therefore I conclude that it fails WP:NORG and recommend a merge to his article. (t · c) buidhe 09:22, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge To the Choudhury article. It seems notable enough of a subject for a mention somewhere, but not enough for it's own article. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:54, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
