Non-notable student newspaper. Google pulls up almost nothing that isn't tied to the paper itself (string: coyote chronicle csusb). While an old edit claims that it had won an award from the California College Media Ass'n, I have no way of verifying whether this is true because the year they got the award in (2007) isn't on the CCMA's website. — A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 02:45, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to California State University, San Bernardino#Student organizations, and activities. I tried searching Google and Newspapers.com, and pretty much nothing came up, so GNG seems pretty unlikely to be met. A case could be made based on criteria 1 (assuming the award is true and significant enough) and 3 (assuming we could find evidence) of WP:NMEDIA, but it'd be a stretch, and NMEDIA isn't a PAG. That page's WP:STUDENTMEDIA section advises redirection over deletion. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:53, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- STRONG KEEP Relevant college and community paper. Please see other articles about college papers. House1090 ( talk) 06:09, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

- KEEP When I did a search of Newspapers.com I was able to find four references to the Coyote Chronicle. At least two of the articles have relevant information to add to the Wikipedia article. If the decision is to keep the article, I will look into adding some information. I won't have a lot to add, but I'm not interested in adding anything, if the article is just going to be deleted. Since the article is part of a series of articles pertaining to CSUSB, I think it should be kept. It does seem though that the article should be labeled a stub article. If it is merged with California State University, San Bernardino#Student organizations, and activities, probably not much information would be lost, but I'm not sure how you would handle the infobox. I agree with House1090 that this article is in line with other college newspaper articles. OvertAnalyzer ( talk) 15:38, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Here's the thing: Without those sources you've found, it's more likely the article will be deleted. The best way to derail an AfD, I've found, is adding sources to an article and rewriting it to address the nominator's concerns. — A little blue Bori v^_^v Takes a strong man to deny... 18:41, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to California State University, San Bernardino#Student life, in agreement with Sdkb. The available sourcing and limited info doesn't warrant a standalone article, and there's already some info at the proposed redirect target. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 21:23, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to California State University, San Bernardino#Student life. As it stands the current version of the article isn't sourced enough for a stand alone article. PhilKnight ( talk) 13:46, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- Redirect as above, non-notable. If merged should have independent sources for anything more than the existing passing mention in the article. KylieTastic ( talk) 16:26, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
