[edit] Crossthepond

Prod removed by IP user, listed for deletion as a non-notable radio show/podcast - Wildthing61476 21:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I added the comment below about Battle. Sorry, I didn't know how to sign it...Still think the show is what you call notable.Bodega 12:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I found the article useful, as I've been a fan of the band Battle, who are on wikipedia, and was able to find the show through them. The show is notable, as it has bands who you deem worthy enough to be notable. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.245.162 (talk • contribs).

• Comment The author of the above unsigned post was also the person who removed the prod tag from the article. Wildthing61476 21:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - non-notable. The fact that the show plays bands that are notable does not make it notable. I could make a web radio show and play notable bands, but that wouldn't make that notable either. --PresN 22:12, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• I've found this show a really useful source of information and think that its non for profit ethos and outlook are very in tune with wikipedia. I found the show through following a link with the pipettes that I found on here. Weird you should delete this! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.141.58.64 (talk • contribs).

• Keep I think it is notable if a radio/online show has interviews with bands that listeners think are notable, that cannot be heard elsewhere. Also as this is an online radio show it provides access to a the music scene in a particular place that is then available to people elsewhere. A fine source of information, the spread of which is the aim, no?Thomasmuirhead 12:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Bands trying to promote their work routinely give interviews to anyone and everyone, whether they've heard of them or not. Doesn't make the interviewers notable, and I can find nothing to indicate this show is. Fan-1967 16:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep What does make something notable? If notable bands want to go in, sit down, chat to them, record live acoustic sets, I think that makes it notable, at least to those who want info about the bands they play. Imsuth 12:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC) Note: First and only edit from new editor
• Keep This deletion made me curious. I have just read What_Wikipedia_is_not and don’t really see why this is being deleted? Isn’t the main thing about Wikipedia the fact that it is not a paper encyclopaedia…and that it doesn’t have to limit its content because of constraints as to ‘importance’. There are many who would suggest that ‘scunthorpe’ isn’t notable but that’s included because it exists, and I know Paris Hilton isn’t notable well not for words anyway more pictures and she’s in. This radio show exists, so it should be included.Dt edin 16:42, 14 July 2006 (UTC) Note: First and only edit from new editor
• KEEPThe constraints of an online encyclopedia are boundless, why limit what material is shown. Surely the more information is shared the more we can develop as a society. Keep this page.Spain1980 16:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC) Note: First and only edit from new editor
