[edit] Wesneco Torch, The

Non notable publication. No Google hits. There seems to be some little notability assertions (organizing 1st Organizational Assembly, 1st Torch Cup Debate, etc), enough to prevent a CSD:A7, but not for AFD. ReyBrujo 03:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

• Merge or move to West Negros College (WNC) Confirm the lack of seach engine hits, but this is a university newspaper, and it contians infomation about the college as well. link to the university, for anyone who is interested. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 04:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment OK, it's a university newspaper- shouldn't it get more than ZERO Google hits? Not even one? -- Kicking222 21:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Delete: Yeah you do have a point, looking in the university's webpage agian, which is here, does brings up 2 hits for the term. None that I can tell are actually about the magazine. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 01:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this one or merge as per Eagle above. -- MrDolomite | Talk 04:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete current article. Redirect WP:NN article name Wesneco Torch, The to West Negros College, which does appear to be WP:N. Content can be moved to a section there. — MrDolomite | Talk 02:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep You don't delete a publication by an African American College. The purpose of an encyclopeida with all the aspirations of Wikipedia is to perserve and promote inforamtion. I mean shit who is running this thing? There are already 10,000s of people a groups pissed off by their treatment at the hands of Wikipedia, are you really going to delete the small references to an African American College Journal? Are you really stupid enough to call it non-notable. Your just openings the door to claims of rascism. Wikipedia has a high profile, you should all be more professional than that, things like this make the news and how the hell are you going to defend a massive Klingon language section when you delete this. Duh. Just leave it, if anyone wants to search on Wesneco Torch they can get the hit. --Rhooker1236 14:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • We delete lots of things. It is the assertion that we should keep an article because of the racial backgrounds of the subject that is racist. Please argue per our Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please explain how an encyclopaedia article on this publication can satisfy our Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research criteria. The article cites no sources. Please cite some secondary sources, independent of the newspaper itself, that discuss this newspaper and that therefore can be used to write a verifiable, non-primary source, encyclopaedia article about it.

  • "I mean shit who is running this thing?" That would be Jimbo Wales. - CheNuevara 19:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• The article cites no sources, and in fact not only can I find no sources on this newspaper that are independent of the newspaper itself, I can find no sources at all. This article is unverifiable. Even were it to be verified that the newspaper existed, a previously unpublished history of the newspaper would be original research. Already published sources that give that history are required. Delete. Uncle G 16:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• According to AfD, Wikipedia is racist, fascist, communist, anarchist, anti-American, elitist, and generally bad. In light of this, I ... still say delete as unverifiable. - CheNuevara 19:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Merge and fix. 88.218.55.227 19:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unverifiable. I can't find anything about it -- not even evidence that it exists. In contrast, I can easily find enough information to verify that the Klingon language exists. --Carnildo 19:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:V and likely WP:VAIN. WilyD 20:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete It fails WP:V, and pretty much any other reasoning for keeping/deleting a page is immaterial if none of the page's info can be verified. -- Kicking222 21:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Yep, fails WP:V and everything else said above --JRA WestyQld2 09:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Carnildo. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 13:58, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
