One single mention somewhere it's not enough to establish notability. Does not meet WP:NNEWSPAPER. XXN, 01:19, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not verifiable, possibly a hoax, could not find any other reference confirming this ever existed. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 02:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I... also think this may be a hoax. The entire language is spoken by 150k people, and centered about 2k miles from St. Petersburg. Even if this actually was a newspaper, I have a hard time believing it would be notable, and even more so without a Russian language article. TimothyJosephWood 19:14, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- not a hoax. According to the source listed in the article (by Shirin Akiner, which is an RS), it was one of the three periodicals in the Lak language, and it existed longer than just in 1912-14, as it was reissued under the same name in the mid-century. Here's the link in Google books preview. Being one of only three newspapers in a given language (1948 - ?), I believe this meets WP:NNEWSPAPER #1.

- I'm not saying it is a hoax, only that it may be a hoax, notability is a separate matter. I could not find other sources other than what is already listed, which is why I thought that. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 00:42, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ping prior voters @Champion and Timothyjosephwood: to clarify that this article is not a hoax. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:25, 29 January 2017 (UTC) [reply]

I tentatively stand by my !vote. This passing mention implies that other sources may exist, but it is not a substitute for those sources. TimothyJosephWood 00:53, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I could not find enough RS to prove the notability. --Mhhossein ^talk 18:22, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
