[edit] db-spam

Initially I placed a db-spam on this article because it read like a press release. However seeing that you are an admin on WP I doubt your intention is to spam so I withdrew it. However this article is about a brand new newspaper that might become notable if it takes off. It has not had time to do this yet. So, assuming good faith and no COI, perhaps you can save this article by explaining how this new newspaper is notable?

Thanks. Its print run of c. 400.000 places it among the top five or so Swiss newspapers in terms of readership. I'll try to establish notability more clearly; in the interim please see the extensive press coverage of this newspaper's launch at Google News. Sandstein 07:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I've expanded on notability, apparently it is even the largest Swiss daily newspaper if if does not fold within a few months. For comparison, the principal pay newspapers such as Blick have print runs on the order of 200.000 - 100.000. I agree that having a secondary source for these figures would be better, though.

• I have declined the speedy deletion as the article asserts notability (per circulation). No real comment on articles value other than that but can we all remember WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks. Pedro |  Chat  11:19, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
