Non-notable student/school newspaper, no indepedent RS for notability...just another student paper. Cquan ^{(after the beep...)} 08:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment while there doesn't appear to be much in the way of secondary coverage, there is some precedent for keeping these, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Mirror (UNC Newspaper) for one. I was the original nom on that one and while I don't necessarily agree that student newspapers are notable, it's a potential systemic bias issue since there have been other AfDs that indicate indexing of Philippine newspapers is not the most comprehensive. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 13:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. A publication of a major university of the Philippines. Nominating based on being just another school paper is an example of systemic bias. Starczamora (talk) 05:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
• Delete: "Just another school paper", no notable. Sorry. CRGreathouse (t | c) 15:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Publication of a major Philippine university. This isn't "just ahother school paper", and Ateneo de Manila University isn't even "just" another school", either (Ateneo de Manila University is the nearest "rival" of the University of the Philippines, Diliman, arguably considered the university of all Philippine universities). Do I see a systemic bias here? Probably: I might as well nominate The Harvard Crimson because it isn't notable as far as many Filipinos are concerned, also because some Filipinos don't know what Harvard University is. But I digress =P --- Tito Pao (talk) 03:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per Tito Pao and Starczamora, this student newspaper clearly has a pedigree and importance beyond the normal run of the mill student papers. RMHED (talk) 15:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
