[edit] Claremont Port Side

Claremont Port Side (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The subject is a college newspaper. No reliable sources are provided in the article to establish notability. A notability tag was removed with no addition of information to assert or establish notabilty. Google searches in the web and news turn up no reliable sources to indicate notability.

  • Delete - seems to be a small, independent college paper, and the article offers no reliable sources to back up any of its claims - with 26 unique Google hits, I don't think there will be any forthcoming. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable. --Malcolmxl5 00:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete All references in the article, except for a blog post which doesn't mention the magazine, are to the Port Side's website or other Claremont Colleges student publications. Not even close to notability. MrVibrating 08:51, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. Of the 7 references, only one is actually to non-trivial coverage in a third-party source [1]. That one is marginal IMO; it covers a single incident, and is in a campus newspaper (not even the local Claremont city newspaper). Of the remaining 6 references, 4 are to its own website, one doesn't mention the publication at all (!), and one mentions it very briefly in passing. --Delirium 08:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
