The Sunday Herald is a fine publication

To the best of my knowledge the herald is a reliable source

Reports on a single event therefor it is a primary source lacking the kind of indepth coverage over a broad timeframe to be considered a secondary source thus it cannot count towards general notability

- Comment: The AfD nominator has 26 edits in total and previously created Stay22, “a Canadian travel tech company, headquartered in Montreal, that offers affiliate revenue generation opportunities for travel bloggers and media”. They received a {{uw-paid1}} message after this creation. Both CV Villas and Stay22 are in the travel business.
I agree that the current version of the article has promotional content. But this is not a policy-based reason for deletion, particularly since the 25 May 2009 version of the article that I edited is neutrally written and can be reverted to if needed. Cunard (talk) 10:31, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
