[edit] The Casting Couch

Delete as the paper is non-notable, with no reliable sources provided. Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 12:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, unless someone discovers some reliable sources which are highly unlikely to exist --Xyzzyplugh 20:32, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

DO NOT Delete as the paper is notable. It has been in publication for twenty years, has received recognition on local radio, television and newspapers, and its creative staff has gone on to include Hollywood film producers, television writers, newspaper columnists, book authors, comic book artists and other notables (many of whom have their own entries and/or are mentioned in various other entries in the Wikipedia).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.128.192.4 (talk • contribs)

DO NOT Delete The school itself, specifically faculty and staff, can verify its history and existence. I will be glad to direct enquiries off-line. --Soggy2000 15:56, 7 August 2006

• Please Delete. It is a school newspaper published once a year. If anything needs to be kept, merge to the school. Vegaswikian 23:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Wikipedia:Verifiability requires publicly released sources. In practice, these have varied from conventional published sources, such as books, magazine, newspaper, and academic journal articles, to highly unconventional sources, such as published films and video games. Indeed, many articles about films rely primarily the films themselves as references. However, the ability of "faculty and staff... [to] verify... [the newspaper's] history and existence" does not identify a publicly released source, and thus cannot serve as a valid reference. If The Casting Couch actually exists the article has apparently been constructed on the basis of statements by students and professors, and thus constitutes origional research in violation of WP:NOR.
