  • Since the page features opinion and not just fact, I think it should be deleted. It does not read like an encyclopedia article. Opinions about another morning show in the market are just that, opinions and therefore do not qualify. ----thanks - JG
AMX on X 103.9 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable local radio morning show. Article reads more like a fan page rather than an encyclopedic article. Wildthing61476 (talk) 19:10, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

  • I say let it stay if it provides actual information about the show. Originally I believe this page was created for listeners to add strange messages about the show, if it comes to that it needs to be deleted. Right now, while it may need a little cleanup, it actually looks like it's providing some real information and has become a little bit more than just a fan page. --209.77.48.14 (talk) 19:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • It may "provide information" but it still doesn't assert notability. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • This article is still under construction. It is not fair that one person with a personal vendetta against this article will determine the fate of this page. If a radio morning show like Kevin and Bean can have a page, why can't this page exist? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.215.112 (talk) 19:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Actually, I don't have a vendetta against the page or the show. I just don't see where it meets WP:N. Also, remember other articles being on Wikipedia doesn't mean EVERY article has to be. Show me where the show's notable and I'll be happy with it. Wildthing61476 (talk) 19:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete A morning show in a small market (by California standards) near LA isn't really notable. If it was targeting Los Angeles this might be different, but as it's targeting the suburban market it doesn't meet the guideline. Nate • (chatter) 00:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • The AMX is a notable show, it is one of the most progressive morning shows on the air today. This article does need work and is under construction. It should not be deleted with such haste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.38.96 (talk • contribs)
  • If what you mean by small market, the fastest growing metro area in the country then yes, it is a small market. In 5-10 years the market that the radio station is in will be within the top 15 markets in the country. So as a pre-emptive strike on the growing market. It is best to keep this page up. And don't think that the Los Angeles market isn't listening, because they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.215.112 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete Non-notable morning show on a non-notable radio station. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 01:01, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just one of many, many non-notable morning zoo radio programs throughout the world. I could find no significant independent reliable sources discussing the program. The article asserts coverage in a local community newspaper and a pornographic magazine but doesn't say what either publication actually said about the program. As a second choice, slight merge to the article about the radio station KCXX. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • This page should not be deleted because I can tell you that I've been on this site and there more pointless articles that noone complains about but yet they're still up there so I see no point in arguing against this one. Besides, this one provides useful information about the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.105.185.117 (talk • contribs)
  • DeleteObviously this is all a publicity stunt for a low rated morning show. The station is low powered and doesn't even reach as far as other stations in the "shadow" area, let alone Los Angeles County. It's like a shadow station of a shadow market. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.130.21 (talk • contribs)
  • Comment Thanks for Hoffman's opinion. But the fact that the station competes and is able to stand in one of the most competitive markets in the country says a lot about the station. Keep the page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.215.112 (talk • contribs)
  • let it stay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.236.208 (talk) 04:33, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment It's funny how people that are not affected by this great morning show choose to leave their unwarranted 2 cents. I live in Victorville (High Desert) and work in Riverside and hear the AMX every morning. It is a great show that serves the market which it's intended to. My friends and I all love it. Now to comment on a few things I read. Citing Kevin and Bean's alumni is completely unwarranted. If you did your research you would see that they have been on the air for over 10 years, where as the AMX has been on the air for less than 1. It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE for them to produce alum the likes of Kimmel and Carolla in that short amount of time. The market is not small for California standards, you would know this if you researched and saw how many markets are in this state, but you wouldn't take the time to do that living in the small market of Sheyboygan, Wisconsin. Whoever decided cite the station's signal as a reason to delete the AMX page is completely out of their mind. This page is about the AMX not about their radio station. Secondly, the station is NOT supposed to reach Los Angeles, that's why it serves the Inland Empire. Third, I have no problem hearing the AMX or their station anywhere in the Inland Empire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.30.212 (talk • contribs)
  • Comment KCAL-FM, a competing station in this station's market, has just been put up for deletion. Not sure by who, as the account's first contribution was the KCAL AfD, but it could be someone involved with wanting to keep this article. Nate • (chatter) 06:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Additional comment Probably not the best idea to admit on your show's blog that one of your cast created a page just for the show and you put it back up after it was speedied...
" Shrug also told us that he started a WIKIPEDIA page for the A.M.X, but he didn't put any information on it. We threw it out to you to fill out, and we're learning some interesting stuff about ourselves. Feel free to add your two cents."
" Doug was angry because our Wikipedia site got taken down, but Steve was his normal cheery annoying self. It made for a great Friday. It began with Doug's rant because Wikipedia removed our site after we were deemed "not important or significant". He's pissed and wants to boycott the site from now on. Shrug put the site back up, and we'll have to wait and see how long it survives this time. In honor of this fiasco, Shrug made his own "Wikipedia Song" and we played it for STUCK ON STUPID."

    • Additional comment to your Additional CommentWikipedia articles are, generally, supposed to be written by non-biased parties (i.e parties not involved with the entry) for someone who seems to know so much about wikipedia, you fail to know this. Therefore asking listeners to write the article is well within wikipedia guidelines champ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.30.212 (talk • contribs)
      MOVING THESE COMMENTS FROM THE AMX DISCUSSION PAGE TO PROPER FORUM
  • What Do You Have to Say About The AMX?

this page shoould not be deleted. its a known factor that this station contributes its time to many people around the Inland Empire. To delete this page would be like taking away a piece of history. Please let it stay. Thank you.

The article has a reason although it doesn't reach the greater los angeles area it reaches a demographic that recieves crap from los angeles called the inland empire and since the inland empire is on wikipedia shouldn't its notable morning radio show be allowed recognition? I think so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.119.133.79 (talk) 06:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

  • What do you like best about the AMX?

AMX is a respectable show with a respectable name... The show wants to share to the world what good deeds that they do daily. Information should never be conceled no matter what topic. So with that said let the AMX Wikipedia stay! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.217.102

  • Delete Unreferenced, no hits in Google News, no assertion of notability. On a side note, I have done some cleanup to this article (just in case it can be saved) but it needs extensive rewriting to be more encyclopedic. - Dravecky (talk) 06:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment I've done quite a bit more cleanup and the article is now quite a bit more encyclopedic, grammatical, and better structured. Which will be of small comfort when the article is deleted because all these enthusiastic supporters can't seem to come up with a few reliable secondary sources as references. - Dravecky (talk) 19:34, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete' unreferenced fan page. Zero Google news hits on 'AMX KCXX' or any of the host's names.--Rtphokie (talk) 01:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
