Non-notable group. 93 Google hits, six of them unique. Was PROD'ed but tag removed by author. Ifnord 19:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment Clarion University has only two networks (academic and residential) and each share a very small IP pool. As a result, all students share a minimum of external IP addresses hence it may seem like there are very few unique hits. We often have a problem on the residential network with AIM because if their servers go down, we all try to sign on at once (because this is automated in newer editions of this program). This causes their servers to boot us off since it sees hundreds of connections coming in from a single IP address. There is no reliable way to determine from outside our campus networks the difference between a unique and non-unique hit. If all 6000+ students were to visit Wikipedia simultaneously, you definately would not see 6000 unique hits on the server-end. That's why I believe the Google comment is irrelevant since the majority of our programming is geared for Clarion University students. --Terranika 06:14, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Established notability with modifying of entry to include information of the PPP, the largest Pagan Podcasting Alliance on the Internet. They found GIG Cast to be notable (by Wikipedia definitions). Feel free to verify this information yourself with the Executive Board of the PPP. --Terranika 06:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete These podcasts reachout to a greater number of people than first thought. These podcasts are being used by adminstration, management, and others outside of just the Clarion Community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.250.209.17 (talk • contribs)

  • This group is well known in Clarion, PA and a major part of the Clarion Chapter of ACM. The page was created today (March 23rd) and we haven't even announced it on our site yet.BinaryCleric

  • Delete per nom; not notable, and won't BE notable. You've gotta be more than just some local thing. - Liontamer 21:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as NN, but also vanity if BinaryCleric is saying what I think (s)he is saying: that this article was created by the podcasters group themselves. --BrownHairedGirl 23:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't Delete I attend Clarion almost everyone knows them. A few of their podcasts known further out than the Clarion Area. (Like the Fluffy Free Zone and Techno Thursdays).—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.250.215.240 (talk • contribs)

  • Speedy Deleteor merge. It is definitely not independently notable (and fails WP:WEB and others). I don't know if it could help another article. Perhaps Clarion University of Pennsylvania or CU Backslash (but I think the latter should also be merged or deleted). --Karnesky 16:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
