*'''Keep''' (please note I was canvassed to come here) - This is a 170 year old newspaper and the first in the state to go online; both notable features and it is well sourced. I generally consider daily papers as significant enough for an article provided there is something encyclopaedic to say, as there is here. I fail to see how deletion would improve Wikipedia.

**'''Comment''' Anybody can have a ''claim'' to notability, because anyone can lie, I'm not saying they're lying in this article, but ''anyone'' can have a claim to anything, doesn't mean it has to be true or right. Anyways, about the article I agree with sumnjim, in [[WP:BIGNUMBER]] I have voted for several AFD's where a voter or the creator of the article says ''if you type xxx in Google, it comes up with 12,000 relevant hits'' So what?? we can't rely on googles page hits to write an encyclopedia! And to what TerriersFan said, I fail to see why the article on this newspaper will ''improve'' wikipedia. Just because it is a 170 year old newspaper doesn't mean we can put up on wikipedia, there are dozens, probably hundreds of newspapers someone could label "notable" that we don't need to put on wikipedia --<font face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Twinkler4|<font color="hotpink">♫Twinkler4♫</font>]] [[User talk:Twinkler4|<font color="limegreen"><sup>(Talk to me!)</sup></font>]]</font> 14:26, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' - I'm here because I found canvassing on someone else's page. Circulation does not equal notability, nor do analogies to circulation numbers. ''NYT'', etc., aren't notable because of circulation; they're notable because they are trusted sources for news and have broken more big stories than anyone else. As it stands now, the article does not meet the requirements for notability, because it asserts none. [[User:MSJapan|MSJapan]] 14:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
