Defunct media outlet, no sign of any notable sources available. Page seems to have been created by someone connected to the organisation, who has previously had similar pages removed through speedy deletion Cardiffbear88 (talk) 23:28, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in for the Zimbabwe Metro, something does not lose its notability if it is defunct. This is a topic that is completely worthwhile of staying in Wikipedia. SuperChris (talk) 16:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment SuperChris - never suggested that, in my opinion it doesn’t have notability whether or not it’s defunct. I cannot find evidence of substantial secondary sources. If you can then please can I urge you to add them to the article. Thanks. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 22:40, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Probably keep. A quick click on the Google books link above indicates that the Zimbabwe Telegraph is cited in quite a few books. Greenshed (talk) 19:46, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As Greenshed states, the fact that articles from the newspaper are quoted in books shows that it is considered an authentic source. As a national newspaper, I think it is likely to be notable. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:03, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Greenshed. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 00:46, 30 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
