This really exists (type of internal publication within the US military), but it is questionable if it is notable. While various reliable sources mention it in passing (while discussing something said in some particular issue of one of these), I can't find any significant coverage of the concept in itself. Wikipedia is not a repository of all the internal minutiae of how the US military (or any other military in the world) works.

Comment is a soft redirect to Wiktionary an option here? This is just a definition, and there is no evidence that will change. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, there is no Wiktionary entry for "command information newspaper". Of course, you (or anybody else) could always create one. However, that Wiktionary entry might then be subject to Wiktionary's own review processes to determine whether its inclusion is appropriate. I think it is a bit problematic creating a soft redirect to a Wiktionary entry which doesn't currently exist, and I don't know whether under Wiktionary's own inclusion criteria it would accepted. (My undereducated guess is they probably would decide to keep, but I don't think we should presume that here.) SomethingForDeletion (talk) 09:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG and WP:HEY. Article has been expanded and several sources have been added. Most compelling coverage in independent secondary sources include this 2005 opinion piece in Newsday, "Truth is first casualty of war reporting", which describes the command information newspaper Observer during the Vietnam War, and this 1990 article in The Leaf-Chronicle, "101st Media Personnel To Produce Information Newspaper For Troops", which looks at command information newspapers produced by the 101st Airborne Division during three wars (World War II, Vietnam War, Operation Desert Shield). @Kvng: Ping.
