[edit] LUST

non-notable student-run television station. Tom Harrison ^Talk 17:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

why has LUST been classed as non-notable but none of these NaSTA Bloomsbury Television CTV (Bath) Demon TV GlamTV Glasgow University Student Television LSUTV Stoic tv Warwick TV Winstanley TV YSTV

Because I haven't got to them yet. Tom Harrison ^Talk 18:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The existance of other deletable articles has no bearing on the notability of this article. There are many deletable articles on Wikipedia. If you think they should be deleted, then nominate them. However, it is no defense for this one. Make a defense on the merits of THIS article. --Jayron32 06:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - If every school has a page for every tv or radio station that they had that would be alot of articles that only people at the school would read. That information is probably available on the school website. Perhaps part of this article could be merged into an article on the school. Chris Kreider 18:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
• Mergetrim down and add to the University of Leicester article.
• Merge and redirect to parent university article. --Jayron32 06:46, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I disagree i think its important to have these articles, as many people use wikipedia as there first reference. isn't the point of wikipedia to try collect everything anyone could ever want to know for everyone to access? or is it only for Americans, as i find many american articles unnotable like the fact it seems every secondary school in american has an article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:High_schools_in_Colorado) how are these more notable?

If YOU think another article should be deleted then YOU nominate it. This discussion is about the merits (or lack therof) of THIS article. Familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia policies and guidelines relevent to this discussion, especially WP:V, WP:NN, WP:OR WP:RS. If you think an article is worthy, mount a defense with EVIDENCE as set out by these guidelines. If you can't provide the evidence, you won't sway the consensus to your favor, and more importantly, you won't sway the closing admin to your favor. --Jayron32 05:19, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't think any of them should be deleted, i'm using them as Precedents particularly to show that if this was page about an american tv station it would not have been nominated for deletion. I apologise for any mistakes i've made in the formatting of this defence, and thank you for the links as it lead me to this, "Licensed radio and TV stations are notable if they broadcast over the air and originate at least a portion of their programming schedule in their own studios." WP:AFDP Student TV and Radio, is based on original content, broadcasts it and has to be licensed to do so. on these grounds LUST and all student TV in the UK fulfills the criteria for notability. unless of course all articles are equal but American one are more equal than others.

• • Change vote to Neutral Excellent! That is a well found defense. Just one question, the particular precedent you cite specifcally says that: "Lower power radio stations limited to a small neighborhood, such as Part 15 operations in the United States or stations with a VF# callsign in Canada, are not inherently notable". Many student-radio stations are very low power, and only broadcast "on campus". (for example, WVUD at the University of Delaware.) Others have powerful enough broadcast range to be heard over an entire metro area.(for example WERS at Emerson College. The distinction here seems to me to be the broadcast power and area of the station, not association with a university. I am not familiar enough with this station to make any definative statements. Can anyone confirm one way of the other: Can this TV station be seen throughout the entire metro area, or is this simply run on say, the dormitory cable system and cannot be seen off campus. That would make a huge difference. I would be willing to change my vote to keep if we can get definitive confirmation of the broadcast range of the station in question. A link to an external site that proves that this station can be seen off campus would be VERY helpful. --Jayron32 01:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable student society. Jack Doicy, Please do not disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. "Precedents" are never a good argument on Wikipedia. Robin Johnson (talk) 16:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• This should stay The Capone of Lesta
