While resolving the duplicate that is The Dallas Morning News (Q889935) vs The Dallas Morning News (Q100292555) (an issue others have already brought up, as I see), I noticed your use of archives at (P485) on all these newspapers.

That is, at the very least, redundant with newspaper archive URL (P7213). "Newspaper" is an actual word of the English language, and not just the parasitic website that is newspaper.com. That should be obvious from the property translations: even without knowing any of those languages, you will notice that none refer to "newspaper", which they would if it were a proper noun. Capitalisation, the absence of ".com", and the parallel existance of Newspapers.com paper ID (P7259) should be further clues, as well as the discussion page and original proposal.

Further, archives at (P485) does not refer to an archive of the paper, but rather "the paper's archives". That is: it would, consistent with its use for presidents or really anything else, refer to a collection of all the institution's artefacts.

Thanks for the explanation, and for cleaning up those bad statements. I'll be more conservative about adding properties like those in the future.
