more defunct Black Press newspapers? edit

I noticed article lists "Richmond Review" in British Columbia, but as far as i know that newspaper is defunct (closed around six years ago?) and no Richmond paper is listed at https://www.blackpress.ca/publications/ . Richmond Review included in 2015 Oct 11 Wayback, but gone from same list a few weeks later in 2015 Oct 30 Wayback. Makes me wonder if some other newspapers listed in article are also defunct. --EarthFurst (talk) 00:12, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi EarthFurst, thanks for the comment. I agree that it's probably very out of date, and it's hard to say if it was ever fully accurate to begin with. I'm not sure there's great value in trying to list all the papers they own, or the dates they were/are published, if we can't consistently find accurate info/sourcing for that. Might be better to reconfigure this to reflect "some of the papers" in each region, and list only those for which we have a source. What do you think? -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:44, 16 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Maybe move publications not in current list (https://www.blackpress.ca/publications/ ) to "Former or defunct" subsections? ("Former" for newspaper now published by someone else?) --EarthFurst (talk) 21:28, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
In reply to "list only those for which we have a source": for publications we don't have a source for, how about adding Template:Citation needed tag, then removing publications that have been "citation needed" tagged for a month? --EarthFurst (talk) 21:51, 24 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
