|2=[[File:Yes Check Circle.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] '''Reliable'''. The ''[[Claremont Courier]]'' is a community newspaper serving [[Claremont, California]], a suburb of Los Angeles. Since it is a small publication, it has never been formally discussed at the [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard|reliable sources noticeboard]].
