I created this article to tidy up after finding the website's logo and URL added to the article for the defunct newspaper of the same title, but there now seems to be no indication that the website is actually notable. It was dePRODded, without comment, by an IP editor in their first edit. PamD 12:40, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• manhistorian I would suggest keeping the article, the vast majority of people who view the MG article are in fact looking because of the online Publication. —Preceding undated comment added 15:02, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete - A sole Manchester Evening News hit here (in the article at the moment) seems to be the extent of reliable source coverage. Other hits seem to suggest the site is some sort of front for the English Defence League. It's irrelevant how many clicks an article gets, a search for sources brings up the 19th century version. I'll just go and ping Eric Corbett, our local Mancunian historian, to see if he knows more. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - as failing WP:GNG. It is significant that all but one of the news hits relate to its own website. The lack of coverage, and lack of attribution, by other reliable sources strongly points to non-notability. The Whispering Wind (talk) 22:54, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
