[edit] WCRO Radio

Appreciate the enthusiasm but this appears too new and non-notable to deserve an article. wcroradio.com was created 09 Dec 2005. Google returns 12 hits for "WCRO radio". And the article is created by a new account named Wcroradio. This may one day be a notable webcast, but for now delete. Vslashg 01:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete -- nn internet radio vanity. - Longhair 01:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• I disagree with your statistics. yes, I am the owner and yes we are NEW, but you saying 12 hits is almost comical. Here are the correct stats from my server. Beginning January 1, 2006 to today, January 28, 2006, I have received 8,809 hits to the main page alone. Listeners to the stream equals 6,234. New or not, if you recommend deletion for every single NEW entry, I don't see how anyone can stand a chance for submission. Wcroradio 01:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• internet radio vanity? I give the correct stats, which contradicts Vslashg's and you move to delete based on "internet radio vanity"? That is so lame. Even lamer? Longhair edited this page and made it a point to make sure his comments were above mine, especially after his comment originally fell under my first response. Go ahead and delete it. I thought it would be nice to have a listing under wikipedia, but after the hassle you all have given, it's not worth it. Wcroradio 01:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I was a little inprecise... by "12 hits" I really meant a search on "WCRO radio" returned 12 results. Also worth noting the page has no Alexa rank. Vslashg 01:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment As I said, delete it. But, it needs to be made known that it seems to be a popularity contest here and not "open" to "new" submissions, unless they meet a certain rank on Alexa (ever consider the no robots tag I use?) or a certain number of results via Google. Go ahead and remove the listing. I'll rely on my correct statistics and listener base. Can't wait to discuss this on the show. Maybe I can get Jimmy Wales to call in ... CHEERS!

    • Popularity is not the concern. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, a tertiary source. Until your web site has been the subject of published secondary source works, it is unverifiable. Wikipedia is not a publisher of first instance. You have your own web site for that. To satisfy our WP:WEB notability criteria, those secondary source works must furthermore come from someone other than you or your web site and must be more than trivial directory listings. Wikipedia is not a web directory. If you have come here thinking to add yourself to a directory of web sites, you have come to the wrong project and do not understand what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. There are other wikis that have the goal of being web directories. Our goal here is to be an encyclopaedia. Uncle G 09:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Vanity. If this becomes a notable internet broadcast, the site owner will not have to create this article. --Zsinj 02:28, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
