Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to News media. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|News media|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to News media.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Article has zero references (one dead link), and unable to find comprehensive, in-depth coverage of this specific Indian weekly newspaper. JoeNMLC (talk) 15:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through the sources, I'm not finding any evidence of WP:SUSTAINED coverage of this apparently defunct publication. Basically all of the coverage of the publication revolves around its disastrous raunchy 2006 rebrand. The only mainstream source I can find covering the publication in any detail is an article in the Independent from 2006 covering the rebrand, along with a very brief article in Press Gazette covering a hiring decision the same year, with other coverage of the rebrand in the niche Golf Business News also in 2006. There's also a 2006 public statement by ex publication head Trevor Ledger in Pitchcare regarding the rebrand. Either way, even if these niche golf sources counted, it still wouldn't pass WP:SUSTAINED due to all the sources being from 2006. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trade publication of unclear notability. Doesn't seem to have any coverage other than in WP:PRIMARY sources. If not delete, it should be pared down to a stub. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:09, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This really exists (type of internal publication within the US military), but it is questionable if it is notable. While various reliable sources mention it in passing (while discussing something said in some particular issue of one of these), I can't find any significant coverage of the concept in itself. Wikipedia is not a repository of all the internal minutiae of how the US military (or any other military in the world) works.

Proposed merge into Goldfields-Esperance newspapers. As far as I can see, all of these papers are already listed at the linked article. Does not seem necessary to me. Adam Black talk • contributions 17:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO and WP:JOURNALIST. Run of the mill coverage of this executive who used to run Euronews, but not much in terms of in-depth of independent from the subject (interviews, press releases) which would indicate this is a notable individual under our guidelines.

GMA Saturday/Sunday Report[edit]

AfDs for this article:
GMA Saturday/Sunday Report (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged as unreferenced since 2009. No good hits on GNews, GSearch and GNews Archives. Most hits are old TV guide lists. Suggest redirecting to List_of_GMA_Network_original_programming#Former_original_programming as WP:ATD. --Lenticel (talk) 08:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The suggested reference in the old AfD is from GMA's news network.
  • The suggested essay WP:TVSHOW that is used to argue for keep is well, an essay. It's better to follow WP:GNG and cite a reliable sources to support its notability.
  • It was part of a mass AfD which probably made it harder for editors then to scrutinize each article's merit during that particular period. --Lenticel (talk) 09:00, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, also there is also lack of coverage by GMA programming (old shows) and reliable source is original research. This article should be delete per WP:SIGCOV, WP:OR and WP:RS. Icarus58 (talk) 12:27, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So I decided to delete no redirect immediately to avoid multiple redirects for old programs since it is not advisable. Icarus58 (talk) 00:22, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of GMA Network original programming#Former original programming per nomination. -Ian Lopez @ 04:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hum News[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG. No references on the page and i cannot locate any online that could be used to show notability. Appears to be one of many pages here to promote Hum Networks. Redirect to Hum Network could be an option as an WP:ATD. CNMall41 (talk) 00:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the !vote although I find it highly suspicious. Regardless, you have just proven why this does not meet notability guidelines. Every single reference you provided falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA and is NOT considered reliable. There is also no inherent notability for it being "one of the very few news channels that avoids sensationalism." Your arguments are more of WP:ILIKEIT. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:19, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, retain it for now; while this article lacks references, it's imperative to enhance it. Considering it's from a prominent news channel, deletion seems unwarranted.
Crosji (talk) 04:46, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point out the policy based reason to keep the page? Keeping it because it is from a "prominent news channel" would be fine assuming the sources are there to support the assertion of notability. Unfortunately, they are not. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP Sincerely believe this article is worth keeping because it's one of the major TV news channels in Pakistan. Although I understand it was nominated here because it was previously unreferenced. Took 4 of the above best newspaper references shown above, archived them and added them to the above article. Passes WP:GNG now...Ngrewal1 (talk) 22:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, none of those references show notability. This is about a correspondent, not the news channel. This is an announcement about an even that was organized by Hum Network Limited, NOT the news network. This and This are both NEWSORGINDIA and even if they were not, they would be considered WP:ROUTINE.--CNMall41 (talk) 23:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this was not nominated because "it was previously unreferenced." Please do not misquote me. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:17, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing administrator All of a sudden most reliable newspapers from Pakistan are being SLAPPED with the label NEWSORGINDIA on this AfD forum and accused of paid editing. Where is the evidence that they are!!! I strongly urge the closing administrator to take a look at the article itself to form an opinion...Ngrewal1 (talk) 16:30, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't all of a sudden. NEWSORGINDIA has been in place for a while. You are also asking for a WP:SUPERVOTE instead of presenting references that are reliable. I am wondering why you brought up UPE though since I have made no mention of it here. Again, you seem to misquote me. Please stop. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:38, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
