  • The articla is new and seems OK with regard to noteability and sources. However its just about the 1500 characters and still in stub quality. So far not useable, but some potential as the author seems to have good sources at hand. Serten (talk) 11:06, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
  • The article is 1558 characters prose at this point, and I'm not able to expand it with snippet views in German beyond its current stage. I find the stub characterization quite arbitrary here, the article covers the entire history of the publication with a number of independent sources. --Soman (talk) 16:46, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
  • This article is new enough and at 1558 B is long enough. As Soman says, it gives a complete, brief history of the newspaper and is not a stub. The hook is cited inline. The article is neutral, but as the sources are mostly in German, I was unable to check for close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:45, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
