Bihar Times does not have substantial coverage in credible and independent sources, which renders it insufficiently notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. It Fails WP:NMEDIA and WP:GNG.
Furthermore, the initial website that was mentioned in article 'bihartimes.in' redirects to an unknown spam link, casting doubt on its legitimacy as a reliable news portal. Saurabh {Talk} 00:54, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment At first I thought this was going to be a no-brainer delete, but their official website appears to be Bihartimes.news, not bihartimes.com or bihartimes.in. It's real, now we need to see whether it's notable. EDIT: Okay, I checked around and it looks like a newspaper called Bihar Times has been around since 1894 but fell into disrepair in recent years: [1] But according to the Wikipedia article's current sources, these might be two different publications [2]. This one's complicated. Darkfrog24 ( talk) 14:31, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- There may have been a newspaper called "Bihar Times" in the 1990s. However, recent news websites like "Bihartimes.news," etc., are not the same publication and appear to be unreliable. Apart from that, no sources have been provided in the article to claim the news portal as unbiased and reliable. Saurabh {Talk} 03:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
