This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to News media. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|News media|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to News media. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Misplaced Pages's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

• Comment I'm a bit confused about how this article relates to BTV (Indonesian TV channel). The Indonesian language Misplaced Pages article id:IDTV suggests that BeritaSatu World was the name of the channel from 2014-2023 and that the name of the channel is now BTV (or maybe IDTV according to the infobox?), which would suggest that the two English language Misplaced Pages articles are probably redundant and are just talking about two names for the same channel. But the two English language Misplaced Pages articles BeritaSatu World and BTV (Indonesian TV channel) are full of contradictory information. The article BTV (Indonesian TV channel) says that the channel is now called BTV, that it was formerly called BeritaSatu, and that IDTV is its sister channel. Meanwhile BeritaSatu World says that the name of the channel is currently BeritaSatu TV (BTV?) and that it was formerly called both BeritaSatu World and IDTV, while BTV is its sister channel. A Google search didn't shed much additional light, so I'm left quite confused about the timeline here and how all these different channel renamings and acquisitions relate to one another. I'm pretty sure I support deleting BeritaSatu World (and maybe add BeritaSatu Sports to the nomination?) because at least BTV (Indonesian TV channel) has some sourcing and I think that's probably(?) the name that the channel goes by now. But hopefully someone with better Indonesian than mine can help work out what's going on here. Alternatively, maybe merge all three channel articles into a new article for the parent company B Universe? MCE89 (talk) 04:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: The sources are not SIGCOV, and the article is a promotional piece. It fails both GNG and NCORP. I found some press releases, but nothing substantial to establish notability. GrabUp - Talk 02:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
• Delete The only sources I could find that talk about Inde News seem to be WP:NEWSORGINDIA press releases about their YouTube channel reaching 10 million subscribers, none of which would count towards NCORP or GNG. While I'm no expert, their 10 million subscribers also strike me as very suspicious - their videos only get about a thousand views on average, and their most viewed video only got 25,000 views, so I'm quite sceptical that they acquired those subscribers legitimately. But regardless, clearly a promotional article for a non-notable channel. MCE89 (talk) 12:19, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

This article is about the company that owns Daily Dunya, this is a directory reference, and this is a mention. Lacks direct and in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Gheus (talk) 23:43, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

• Keep: It's a member of the All Pakistan Newspapers Society (indicative, not determinative), and there's quite a lot of English-language analysis of its publications on GScholar. From found there, "The Urdu newspaper stories were extracted from the top five large circulation national dailies that is Daily Jang, Daily Dunya, Express, Daily Aaj, and Nawa-e-Waqt...". I presume that given the English language coverage evident that there would also be a level of coverage in Urdu. Its journalists have received awards - reported on by unrelated sources.

• Delete: It existed on the web from 2013 through 2021. It doesn't have an article on ur-wiki (is used in a couple of article as refs only), and the other wiki entries are unreliable. Have found no evidence for its stated longevity (English or Urdu via Gbooks and Gscholar or searches using site:*.pk), and even if a Daily Basharat were found to exist from 1956 there would need to be evidence of continuity of publication. With the lack of RS evidence, I can't really recommend even a redirection to List of newspapers in Pakistan and capsule coverage there - it was not (in recent years, at least) a member of the All Pakistan Newspapers Society HydroniumHydroxide 02:26, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
