Weekly campus paper with 3000 circulation, only source is itself. Gary the No-Trash Cougar (talk) 05:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete self-evidently non-notable. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 06:04, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

• Keep I've added three references not from the paper itself, (which by the way claims higher circulation than stated in the deletion nomination): from TV station KDKA, about racial tension aroused in 2006 by an editorial cartoon about reverse discrimination, and references from two different non-campus newspaper in two different towns about alumni association and faculty council ire raised by a simulated wanted poster for U.S. President Richard Nixon for "murder, genocide and conspiracy" in 1970. This satisfies Wikipedia notability requirements. Campus papers are no more inherently "non-notable" than are newspapers in towns of equivalent size if the campus papers themselves they have multiple substantial coverage in independent and reliable sources.

• Keep per sources provided by Edison. Struck through prior vote.--Jayron32.talk.contribs 15:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
