No proof of notability. Not sure in windowonthemedia.com as reliable source. PtQa (talk) 18:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unimedia is one of the only independent sources of information in Moldova (along with Ziarul de Garda). The fact that no English-speaking outlet mentions it doesn't make it less notable. The entry in the Romanian-language version of Wikipedia certainly lacks sources but it is maintained by several contributors and hasn't ever been considered for deletion.

Unimedia is one of the only independent sources of information in Moldova - it doesnt prove notability. The entry in the Romanian-language version of Wikipedia certainly lacks sources - yep, and u know why? PtQa (talk) 20:00, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've added some additional text and sourcing to the article from the BBC, Radio Free Europe, The Sofia Echo, and the Interlic News Service. Here's another from 2010 where the acting president of Moldova fields a question from a Unimedia reporter and in response makes a joke specifically referring to Unimedia. This April 2009 news report from official Moldovan news agency listing Unimedia as one of "Moldova's main information sites" down because of too many trying to get the "latest news about the protest actions". There are several hundred Gnews hits specifically to Unimedia.md--most are not of individual interest for notability purposes (sample), but as a group I think they help establish Unimedia's notability as a news source. It is even starting to turn up in scholarly articles. And, I know this doesn't prove notability, but it's still a data point: Alexa shows them as being 20th-ranked Moldovan (*.md) site. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 06:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
