Keep Passes WP:GNG, being covered in sources such as Language Policy and Education in India and Gender Bias in Indian News Media. Andrew D. (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you link to these sources, please? Thanks! I'd be interested in seeing the coverage. Waggie (talk) 04:14, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Waggie, if you cannot locate sources whose titles are SPELLED OUT in a response, maybe you have no business mass nominating articles for deletion without reasonable cause. I'm sorry to need to say this but this massive attack on the newspapers of the Odia people, void from thorough WP:BEFORE and in blunt disregard of WP:NEXIST is nothing short of a disgrace. gidonb (talk) 22:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NEXIST and WP:NMEDIA. As noted also by Andrew above (with some examples), sufficient reliable sources are available through Google Books. gidonb (talk) 09:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-None of the above two seems to have some any minimal idea that sources ought be reliable and they ought to devote significant coverage to the subject.One of Andrew's source:--Gender Bias in Indian News Media is published a vanity press and written by a half-faculty of no repute.

Anyways, extensive coverage can be located at the following links:--

Mentions the paper to be the mouthpiece of the national movement in Orissa.
Orissa&pg=PT32#v=onepage&q=%22Samaja%22%20Orissa&f=false A publication that was censored by the colonial government and Orissa&f=false whose founder was held in high esteem.Orissa&pg=PT31#v=onepage&q=%22Samaja%22%20Orissa&f=false Played an important role in the later parts of independence-struggle.
Mentions it as the Voice of the masses.
Mentions the newspaper multiple times, to sketch the politics of freedom-struggle in Orissa.
Mentions it to be a famous Oriya daily newspaper.
Orissa%20newspaper&f=false Mentions it to be the most widely circulated daily newspaper of Orissa.

It might be noted that I have excluded all mentions across university-publications, because of their unreliability.∯WBG^converse 09:56, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources provided by WBG. Clearly meets NMEDIA. –Ammarpad (talk) 12:42, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
