Hawaii Tribune-Herald

does not assert notability β^_command 08:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems like the major daily paper on the island of Hawaii, and though it needs some expansion it has certainly more history and an outline of the paper than some of the other small-town paper articles I've seen. Nate · (chatter) 09:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A newspaper running for nearly ninety years seems notable to me. Nick mallory 10:27, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. Do remember that newspapers are unlikely to be discussed by competing media outlets, so a strict interpretation of WP:N is not advisable here. Zagalejo^^^ 10:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. I wish that there was some guideline for notability of a community's newspaper. There are 12 radio stations in Hilo, Hawaii, each of which is considered notable as a matter of policy (all FCC-licensed stations). Under the bizarre (and not well-planned) "all places are notable" theory, an article about an unincorporated location on a map of Hawaii County would be kept. The city's newspaper, though, has to be defended by the rest of us. This isn't the "Bargain Banner" we're talking about here. Mandsford 13:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Major newspapers, especially those that have a long history, should bed notable. Where there is not enough info in the article, give it time; it'll build up. -- azumanga 03:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whoa, a newspaper that's been running for more than a century? Keep - that longevity asserts notability, to me. Tony Fox (arf!) 06:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per everyone, I guess. Maxa megalon 2000 07:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Egad yes this is of course notable, suggest speedy keep closure on this one. RFerreira 08:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep -- clearly notable. Even given the very correct comment above about the lack of press coverage of competing papers, a 30-second Google News archive search still turns up 130 press mentions. The circulation is approximately 20,000^[1] and the paper is the largest paper on the Island of Hawaii (population 150,000+). This should never have gone to AfD. --A.
