[edit] 209radio

209radio (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Autobiographical article by staffers at this station. Which turns out to be an internet-only station, with very little external coverage (brief story in local paper is about it). Guy (Help!) 16:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, non-notable Internet radio station mikm 16:10, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. It is a Community Radio Station launching on FM later this year, stop adding nonsense about deleting this article. If you delete 209radio, you may aswell delete Resonance FM, etc. --Matthew W 19:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
    Comment that you work / are affiliated with the station (per your userpage) indicates a conflict of interest. Because something will/might become notable doesn't mean that it deserves an article now. Nothing on the article gives any reason why it is notable. The bulk of the article is lists, which probably shouldn't be there in the first place. mikm 03:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete in lieu of more external sources demonstrating notability of this particular station. I urge admin who closes this AfD to consider WP:COI and WP:AUTO when reviewing the comments here. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 20:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. This page has been edited by a junior volunteer without any station management approval or knowledge. We concede that the page, as is, is badly formatted and the information is inappropriate. We will be overhauling this page over the next day or so and will include references to our notability. Matthew W will NOT be making any further changes to this page 209radio 13:48, 31 March 2007 (GMT)
    • Please see WP:COI. Employees/volunteers of 209radio editing the 209radio article would be a conflict of interest. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete 209radio You know what? Delete away boys; we don't care. Bill Thompson is right- Wiki's going to disappear up its own backside. Editing by pedants and jobsworths above and beyond any encyclopedic values. There is no-one outside of 209radio with the knowledge required to create a 209radio wiki page of worth. Plenty of other radio station pages created and progressed by their own station staff/group here on Wiki, you fools. Being on Wiki will have no positive impact on us, so shove it. 08:32, 02 April 2007 (GMT)
    • Comment - The fact that nobody who doesn't work for 209radio could write an article suggests that 209radio is inherently non-notable and fails WP:V mikm 16:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable, and COI issues. User290radio sort of blanked the page, but until this AFD is closed, the article should stay with the AFD notice so I have reverted. -- Whpq 23:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
