The newspaper is defunct, and not relevant, searching for it yields no results and cites only a single source. Submitting for Wikipedia:Notability Dellwood546 (talk) 01:51, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge this and Øst-Finnmark to Communist Party of Norway#Press as{{r to related topic}} (?) and leaving cats more or less intact. A weekly circulation of 750 copies; limited lifespan and scope and impact; and limited independent sigcov (Friheten is the CPN national paper) means GNG isn't met, but it would be reasonable to include them at the proposed section per WP:ATD, particularly given this one's founder. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 12:12, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It is a nice short article, with sources that I can't read but look to me to be sufficient. And it's about a newspaper, for which in general it is often difficult to find coverage about them from other publications, as is covered in Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/Notability, an essay about notability of newspapers which User:Peteforsyth recently notified me about. In general we need for Wikipedia to cover newspapers; i think we should be a gazetteer about them, because we need ourselves to know about their qualities as sources. Here, it is useful to have this article to inform any perspective about usage of this newspaper as a source, anywhere else. ("Oh, okay, that was a short-lived commie rag, perhaps a good source about X but not likely to be objective about Y"). And again it is a good, interesting short article ( i like it). --Doncram (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep after Doremo's expansion and do not in any way merge, the #Press section would be severely bloated. Geschichte (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
