Merge to Law & Order (franchise). Drawn Some (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, at least until there's a article on recurring elements in the Law & Order universe, then Merge. (Another such item for that proposed article would be Hudson University.) As the article in its current state shows, this fictional newspaper not only appears in a number of episodes, but was the setting for a L&O spinoff. In other words, it meets the standard for notability, but just barely. -- llywrch (talk) 22:09, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Actually the standard for notability still requires verification. The piece could do with some references.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 09:23, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Even as such, what exactly needs to be said beyond "This series was set in the fictional New York Ledger"? What even can be said, beyond tedious in-universe minutae? Badger Drink (talk) 05:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No cultural impact outside of Law & Order, and extremely minimal impact even there. Probably not even worth a mention in the main L&O article, definitely no need for an article here. Would be nice on a L&O wiki, which I'm sure exists somewhere. Badger Drink (talk) 05:32, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge the content Keep the redirect for GFDL purposes, though otherwise not needed. DGG (talk) 18:21, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a fictional newspaper that no real-world newspaper (or magazine, or scholar, or etc...) has ever written about in the sort of detail we would demand for detemining the notability of real world newspapapers. Yet here is this steaming pile of an article on a non-newspaper, that has no independent notability apart from the fictional world it inhabits (and precious little notabilty within that world, even, so no need for any merging but a redirect).Bali ultimate (talk) 19:04, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
