The claim that it is one of two daily newspapers in a sovereign nation, perhaps? A tiny nation, perhaps, but still ... my feeling is that speedy deletion is only for the absolutely most clear-cut cases. If there is any reasonable doubt, it should not be employed.
We obviously see it differently; I looked at the size of the country, saw it was a smaller population than my home town, contextualised it with the papers in my home town, and went from there. The entire circulation of that paper would not even half fill the football ground in my home town.
But actually I suspect the mistake I made was perceiving that the article existed solely to support a webcomic whose claim to notability is being published in this paper.
I really must leave webcomics alone. I think that 99% of them are not in the least bit notable, and others think that 99% of them are of paramount importance. This is never going to make for a relaxing life. Ah well.
