[edit] College Park Diamondback

Student newspaper for University of Maryland. No claims of notability, just three short sentences. Willmcw 23:41, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Merge and redirect to UMD. Not notable. (And I'm an alumna) And I think the proper title is The Diamondback, anyway. If memory serves... --Etacar11 01:07, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I think that's a better idea. --Etacar11 15:24, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect to the school. Xoloz 05:15, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Revise; should be renamed University of Maryland Diamondback, is notable in several areas and this article should be allowed to grow -Howardjp 13:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Exactly how is it notable? I'm curious. --Etacar11 14:08, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

As I understand it, it is the largest circulation college paper, and one of the few dailies, it is the newspaper that originated the comic strip The Boondocks and was edited by Jayson Blair before he became a fiction writer for the New York Times

I know USC and UCLA both have dailies. And I think Columbia does too. Not sure how widespread this is. But I think the Diamondback merits mention in the UMD article, not its own. Just my opinion. All I remember of it is kids whining about city noise restrictions... ;) --Etacar11 14:35, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to the University. I gotta say, though, it always strikes me as amusing when the VfD has more information than the article. -R. fiend 15:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
