different "delete downloaded news" values per news source?

Different news sources have very different shelf lives. New York Times news articles are stale after a few days but the NYT book review comes out only weekly and are hardly news at all so might be of interest for months.

I don't see any way to set the delete after value differently for different news sources. Am I missing something or can I make a feature request?

there's already a feature request for it. Though it's unlikely to get implemented. Just set your delete time to the time suitable for the longest interest news source.
