Hi there - I can see why you might think this is blatant advertising but it's not - the launch of a new newspaper in the UAE is massive news here where there is so little media. The article has been written as plainly as I can make it, with no marketing speak, and does not look that different to the text provided for Gulf News or 7Days, fellow newspapers here.
- Can you provide some evidence that this is massive news in the UAE? I can understand in context this may be more notable than a tabloid launch would be in the US or the UK... we just need to see some evidence of that. Marked for PROD in the meantime to give this 5 days rather than being speedily deleted.--Isotope23 16:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
These are some of the articles that have written about the XPRESS launch here in Dubai - including the UK newspaper The Guardian.--Lockes 18:02, 26 March 2007
