Notability

I'm glad that others were able to find more sources than I could, but I still don't know if there's enough coverage to rate a standalone article. Since it's owned by Indian Country Today, might make sense to merge into that article. Prezbo (talk) 10:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. - Merging would not be an improvement to the encyclopedia. It has a circulation of millions. Native News Online clearly meets the subject specific notability criteria per N(media) guidance for notability:

1. have produced work that has received a well-known and significant journalism award or honor or has been nominated for such an award several times
2. have served some sort of historic purpose or have a significant history
3. are considered by reliable sources to be authoritative or influential in their subject area
4. are frequently cited by other reliable sources
5. are significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets

Native News Online has won journalism awards; and is considered a reliable source in the Native American, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native and First Nations communities which is a non-trivial niche market. They are often used, in other news publications as a reliable source for content related to Indigenous Americans (Indians) - the same communities as listed above) and are considered to be an authoritative source for these peoples of which there are millions, and in doing so serves a critically important historical purpose and serves a large and historically relevant part of the population of the United States.

@Prezbo, I don't know where you are looking for sources, but I'm finding tons of content in peer-reviewed academic journals, including an entire case study in Newspaper Research Journal. - Netherzone (talk) 15:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I’m not hell bent on deleting the article, if you can find sources then great. When I made the comment above the article didn’t reflect significant coverage in secondary sources, maybe it does now. Prezbo (talk) 16:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge per Netherzone. NNO has a different history and scope than ICT News (Indian Country Today is an old name for the print/digital newspaper that is not ICT News, exclusively online). This widespread trend across Wikipedia toward minimizing or eliminating Indigenous topics and voices is disconcerting. Yuchitown (talk) 14:25, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per Netherzone and the sources they've added to the article. This organization clears several of the criteria listed at WP:NMEDIA. --Pinchme123 (talk) 21:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
