I've read the guideline on google news sitemap but could not locate whether google news sitemap needs to be referenced on robots.txt.
https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/74288?hl=en#sitemapguidelines
Could someone please confirm
On the documentation page you linked, there is this note:
Once you've created your Sitemap, upload it to the highest-level directory that contains your news articles. Please see this page for further instructions on submitting your Sitemap.
It explains that you can submit the sitemaps in Google Webmaster Tools: Crawl → Sitemaps
No it does not need to be included in robots.txt if you have submitted it to Google, but it is a good practice to do so.

I have been developing a web page named: directorioelectronico.com and I have specially issues now, I will be very grateful that someone can be help me.
The web page has been submitted in Google.com and now all the links that are in the homepage are listed in search results BUT some links ej. google.com/maps are not list in the home page (because it appears only when you select your municipality). How can I tell to Google that it exists (maybe without a sitemap.xlm because my links have metadata that is very important that google knows?
In advance, Thank you very much for you help.
My solution was that I create a route /sitemap.xml and put it in robots.txt too I created an html page with all the sitemap with cities, companies and all imoportant links.
I created health-related site based on Joomla.
I created Google Webmasters account and saw how Google indexed my site.
But then I saw that Google indexed some directory /includes (that I didn't create) and which content was far from health topics.
I deleted this directory, but already for 2 months Google Webmaster shows top keywords from /includes directory.
What should I do to tell Google that directory doesn't exist anymore?
Thank you in advance. In case you need, here is address of site: http://healthfount.com
