[edit] The Independent Newspaper

Clearly a vanity page written by the newspaper's editor or at least someone very closely related to the newspaper. Not necessary or should at least be cleaned up so it is less partial and only includes necessary facts. 69.72.29.86 21:37, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect without merge to The Independent, which is an actual notable newspaper. CDC (talk) 21:50, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• This page used to be quite biased, but it seems that certain objective editors have made the content more relevant. It no longer is so partial, and is quite fact-oriented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.188.116.134 (talk • contribs) 2005-07-26 01:46:39 UTC
• Hello. I am the editor of the paper. None of the members of my staff put the page up. It was done by a member of the school community. It is not a national paper, but is important, and has a regional audience. It is neither fair nor right to delete it. It is informative and adds to the value of wikipedia.

  This page should not be redirected or deleted. The editors of The Independent simply want the title to themselves, which is selfish and antithetical to the goals of wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.188.116.134 (talk • contribs) 2005-07-26 02:10:10 UTC

• Delete first, then redirect to The Independent. — Trilobite (Talk) 12:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
• Whilst looking for verification, I have found all of these. However, the only thing that I can find about this Independent is this, which is a cached version of the St Albans School News apologizing for "the damages inflicted upon all readers by the last issue of the Independent". That's the entire content, and not even that much remains on the actual site. Uncle G 15:34:31, 2005-07-26 (UTC)
