I'm a little reluctant to do this. The article makes a good case for the newsletter's notability. Problem is, it's the wrong kind of notability (i.e. fails WP:WEB) and external sources are not given. I found about 700 nonwiki ghits, which is borderline. More to the point, the article writer, User:Ivaldes1, is more than likely the Ignacio Valdes who has been a frequent contributor to LMN, thus creating a conflict of interest.

  • Weak delete because of suspected COI. Would rescind my vote of COI could be disproved.Realkyhick 05:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. LinuxMedNews has 92,000 ghits and it content is carried by other notable websites, passing WP:WEB. John Vandenberg 06:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment. Good call, John. I agree that the site passes WP:WEB. We're still left with the COI, which is why I'm not going to speedy keep it, but it should probably be kept. YechielMan 07:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, meets WP:WEB. Edit out the COI, which shouldn't be too hard. Natalie 21:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Just complies with WP:WEB, and a notable amount of google hits.Robin99 23:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Whilst the conflict-of-interest is a concern, it can be edited out fairly easily. Chairman S. Talk Contribs 00:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
