[edit] Arbetarbladet

Arbetarbladet (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

non notable newspaper mini stub, no reliable sources, no in text sources, no secondary sources, likely a translation of a similarly non notable but slightly (slightly) longer stub in swedish. NewAtThis (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC) WITHDRAW NOMINATIONNewAtThis (talk) 03:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Delete per nomNewAtThis (talk) 10:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as 1170+ Google News hits and over half a million Google hits lend credence to the notion of notability. My Swedish is a bit rusty so perhaps, as an expert on the Swedish media, you can outline why this apparently major Swedish newspaper which serves a large geographical area and is itself widely quoted is not-notable. - Dravecky (talk) 12:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep; although my understanding is that "Arbetarbladet" just means something like "Worker's Newspaper", raising the possibility that more than one paper bears this name. This would appear to be a daily newspaper in the major city of Gävle, which would seem to make a fairly strong case that this is a reasonable stub on a notable topic. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Without sources, it is OR, i hardly call 68K a major city.68.27.12.1 (talk) 14:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a misinterpretation of WP:NOR, which seeks to limit original conclusions. ("Original research" is material for which no reliable source can be found.) It is not the same thing as lacking sources. We have {{unreferenced}}, suggesting that we have many articles waiting for someone with the access and inclination to add them. --Dhartung | Talk 01:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy keep. This is a major daily newspaper in Sweden, and can easily be expanded and sourced. The anon comment above is gringocentrism at its worst. --Soman (talk) 17:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment, there is also a Arbetarbladet in Finland, and 1869-1888 there was a Arbetarebladet published in Sweden (same name, just a more archaic spelling), see: [1]. --Soman (talk) 17:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
