[edit] BURST

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

Unsourced article on non-notable student radio station broadcasting on a temporary RSL. Not known at all outside the university. Scores all of 31 unique Ghits Ohconfucius 02:43, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete If I'm told in five days that this article has been kept, I absolutely promise to write an article about WYUR, my alma mater's student radio station. Such media are not notable by their very nature. Shalom Hello 06:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Uh oh, I didn't really mean that... :( Shalom Hello 17:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I'm referencing it so that can't be used as a reason for deletion. As for unique G hits - well if google was the sum of human knowledghe we might as well not bother with the wikipedia project. All the articles created under the scope of wikiproject systemic bias have little or no hits in googleFrancium12 21:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Does not meet WP:ORG. Gasheadsteve 07:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - What about a merge with University of Bristol Union considering its broadcast from there? Francium12 07:20, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Now sufficently referenced Wikiball18 09:59, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Merge-I've withdrawn my delete vote above. Given the improvements in referencing I now vote to merge into University of Bristol Union, per Francium12's suggestion above. Perhaps drop the list of committee members though, since none of them are notable and they change annually. Gasheadsteve 08:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep BBC article makes the subject sort of notable but more 3rd party sources would help. --Hdt83 Chat 08:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with University of Bristol Union. The sole external reference is a very minor article on a local BBC website and barely establishes notability. Agree with Gasheadsteve re list of committee members - reads like vanity on their part. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk to me) 09:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete or merge to somewhere appropriate. The references are self-published and/or of questionable reliability with the exception of the BBC one - doesn't have multiple non-trivial published third party sources shown to be about it.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 09:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep There is sufficient references to this article now. --Siva1979Talk to me 10:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge or delete. It's still a student group with no notability outside its school, and all the "references" to its own website aren't going to change that. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge All the additions have failed to convince me it that it merits a standalone article. Canuckle 16:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
