Daily Gazette (Colchester)

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

Fails notability (WP:GNGs and WP:NNEWSPAPER) in particular and there is a lack of sources.

Sources 1 and 2 appear to be directories (i.e not showing notability) and sources 3 and 4 only appear to reference the Colchester Gazette in passing only. With no notable and acceptable sources, the article has to be deleted. GR _{(Contact me) (See my edits)} 14:48, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - daily newspaper, source 1 is not a directory but the Victoria County History which describes the setting up of the newspaper. Source 3 is entirely about the newspaper, not a passing mention. Warofdreams talk 14:53, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The current article presents sufficient sources to justify a finding of notability, especially if we assume good faith about the cited offline sources. I also note a variety of quotes from and references to this paper in articles from other (larger) papers, suggesting notability per the criterion mentioned at Wikipedia:Notability (media)#Newspapers, magazines and journals. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
