No sign of significant coverage. The best source I can turn up is this blog (?), which describes it as "a weekly freesheet tabloid newspaper delivered to households in the town of Halesowen in the south-eastern corner of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in the West Midlands," which does not inspire confidence regarding notability. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:06, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - seems to lack
WP:SIGCOV or any other secondary coverage (besides the one dubious source the nominator dug up, which I also found while searching) than evinces notability for inclusion. MaterialsPsych (talk) 09:23, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

I found this in a 1991 business directory:
HALESOWEN CHRONICLE (Free) Est: 1986 Thurs Local news, sport and features, TV guide, letters, women's page, motoring, holidays, etc. Head Office: 51–53 Queen St, Wolverhampton, West Midlands WV1 3BU. Tel: 0902 313131
I suspect that most of that is untrue, over 30 years later. Certainly the Australian WWW site, whose content is full of lorem ipsum and just screams unreliable source, supports none of the rest of the article at hand about a differently named subject. The non-directory content is unverifiable and Wikipedia is not a business directory. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 10:32, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A long dead newspaper that was little known when it was alive. Athel cb (talk) 18:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
