reaching out to fellow Wikipedian working on Del City, Oklahoma page

Specifically, I would like to find more sources for the history of Del City. The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture source I have been using is good for early history but not as strong for more recent history. The newspapers that used to serve Del city is of course closed. I think Oklahoman coverage is minimal, especially for finding a good history source.

The main reason is that these itty bitty newspapers are never going to have much information to create a full article. I created quite a few just short newspaper articles but I think many are going to be unexpandable. These three in particular are tiny.

I'm kind of wondering too if there is some way to do an Oklahoma newspapers article, where we could combine some of the information on these small newspapers and their publishers. It may not really warrant an article though. Maybe I could move them into information under their respective cities/counties?

fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the
criteria apply,
propose it for deletion, or nominate it at
WP:AFD.
Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
The
lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
The
Biographies of living persons policy should be strictly adhered to when adding to information to biography articles.
Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a
reliable source and is
verifiable.
Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written neutrally, from a
non-point of view perspective.
The main reason is that these itty bitty newspapers are never going to have much information to create a full article. I created quite a few just short newspaper articles but I think many are going to be unexpandable. These three in particular are tiny.

I'm kind of wondering too if there is some way to do an Oklahoma newspapers article, where we could combine some of the information on these small newspapers and their publishers. It may not really warrant an article though. Maybe I could move them into information under their respective cities/counties?

As part of
the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of April 25, we are at 7.54%, with 361 articles currently in
Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the
stub article subpage.
If you are actively editing and contributing to articles under the scope of WP:PW, it is suggested that you add your name to the
list of active members.
Events Calendar
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of
vandalism and
speculation: professional wrestling events from major
promotions for the month of April and
May.
This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the
Manual of Style and general editing tips.
Please consider helping out with the project's
2010 Resolutions, and help achieve one of the goals listed.
Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to
WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see
WP:PW/SG#Sources.
Wikipedia is
not a crystal ball, so please do not add speculation about future events to articles.
When adding
headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
Do not give undue weight to
recent events in articles.
Oklahoma City Oil Field, not sure with which article though, could be under Oklahoma City, under Oklahoma State Capitol, or maybe
History of Oklahoma City. The latter would make the most sense, I think.
