Point of View (newspaper)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

NN local monthly/online newspaper, fails WP:ORG and the GNG. The only sources listed other than the subject's itself mention the subject only in passing. A Google Newspaper search for "Point of View" + its home city + the publisher's surname (to weed out false hits) is completely empty. The handful of Google News hits mention the subject only in passing (and all from a single source, the local metropolitan daily, which fails WP:SIGCOV), in reference to a quote from one or the other of the paper's publishers, a husband-and-wife team of local attorneys; as the relevant guidelines explicitly state, of course, a quote from someone associated with a subject cannot be used to sustain notability OF the subject.

Expired prod somehow left undeleted several days after expiration, and *then* prod removed with the edit summary "Article never had a vote of deletion." Ravenswing 03:24, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – No evidence of notability. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 04:08, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I agree that there is little evidence of notability. I looked at the article for African-American newspapers hoping that this could be a merge/redirect, but that article only has a simple list of names. So an editor is kind of boxed-in here, with the only options being a separate WP article or just a name in a list. However, there is little here that one cannot get from the website of the newspaper. I wish there were some intermediate option. LaMona (talk) 01:13, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
