The result was speedy delete. Fails WP:ORG; the refs stating that it has been referred to by other news websites are fake - those are just index pages for Hanswar-related news. That is, no credible indication of importance. utcursch | talk 15:26, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. (1) This is not a newspaper despite what the article would have you believe, it's a Weebly.com page and (2) It claims three newspapers have mentioned their work, which I doubt that's true if the pages the three refs direct me to are any indication. Ref 2 only links me to that source's main page, while refs 1 and 3 direct me to pages of websites for newspapers that list articles tagged only "Hanswar", which may be about the place but not the specific Hanswar News source. These could just be unintentional mistakes, however; I've seen the creator of this article work on articles of other Indian topics in an encyclopedic way, so I doubt the article is intentional WP:PROMOTION. However, what is true is that this topic is nowhere near notable. 👨x🐱 (talk) 21:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(Speedy) Delete I don't know if this comes under A7, given that it may not be just a blog, there could well be an actual paper version also (it does say 'broadsheet' in the infobox, which a mere blog probably wouldn't claim, unless purely to deceive). But either way, it should be deleted as non-notable village rag. The alleged sources seem to be news (?) about the locality where this illustrious publication is based, not about the publication itself, and are thus irrelevant. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:36, 14 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
