[edit] Brecon VHF-transmitter (2nd nomination)

Brecon VHF-transmitter (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Relisted following lack of consensus in mass deletion. Neither the article, nor the link attached, gives any indication what makes it notable: "The station is slightly unusual in that the antennas are mounted on wooden poles instead of the more usual steel lattice mast". From all indications, it's a plain boring bunch of antennae mounted on wooden poles. If anyone can indicate why this mast is special, please improve this year-old stub. Otherwise, there is ample precedence for deleting this stub about something about as notable as a telegraph pole. Ohconfucius 02:27, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

  • delete. As a ham radio operator, there is novelty in that they use wooden mast instead of steel mast, but as is amazingly demonstrated, WP:ILIKEIT fails in the face of WP:N. Unless there's something else notable about this transmitter facility, it should not be here. --Dennisthe2 02:37, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, as nothing in the article justifies its notability, and little information about the facility is provided. --SYCTHOStalk 03:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete-whats so special about a wood pole? --TeckWizTalkContribs@ 23:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete "slighty unusual" <> notable. Wikinfo, perhaps? Guy (Help!) 15:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's just of one a thousand or so 'transposer' type relay stations in the UK. Let's keep the main broadcast and microwave sites, which form most of the entries in Category:UK transmitter sites and which do have an interesting history, and delete the relatively few articles about unremarkable relay stations like this one.

  • Delete as per Harumphy. Chillysnow 21:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. I have a feeling that this installation could be notable for its usage. However it is not clear that my guess is correct from the article as written. So unless some assertion of notability is made it needs to go. Vegaswikian 22:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
