This is a local free sheet. Does it actually deserve a page? raining girl ( talk) 17:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC) reply

I think it should stay. They've got pages on other free weeklies and even other New Times in other cities. ONEder Boy ( talk) 18:32, 3 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I'll just throw into the discussion that the NEw Times is a bit more than just a local free sheet. It holds a fairly significant position in the local political discourse due to the editors' persistent criticism of certain aspects of local government. Especially since the incident with the Sheriff's Office, the New Times has occupied a notable role in Phoenix politics. 70.190.25.139 ( talk) 20:04, 15 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Further, I notice I'm not the first person to mention this, and that the last commment (calling it rather less politely 'a leftist fish wrapper') was deleted. raining girl ( talk) 17:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC) reply

The edit in question. Strawberry Island ( talk) 16:14, 30 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Is it really appropriate to quote the newspaper's self-description from their website in a neutral encyclopedia article? This seems more like self-promotion. XINOPH | TALK 23:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC) reply

Agree... and why I came to this talk page. Strawberry Island ( talk) 16:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC) reply

The whole section on arrest controversy seems to be outdated, Azcentral reported on a more recent lawsuit which is worth mention on this article. Either that or a link to this section of backpage. Any thoughts? CR055H41RZ ( talk) 01:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC) reply
