[edit] CharterTV3

CharterTV3 (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Appears to fail WP:ORG - one Google hit for "WCTR Charter TV3" (WP itself), nine hits for "Charter TV3", none of which contain significant coverage. Article was also created by someone who appears to be affiliated with the organization in question. Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 02:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - Apparently not a public access station, rather a regional commercial network provided by Charter Communications... It then goes on to describe...a public access station. I have a channel just like this on my Charter system which wouldn't meet WP:ORG either. Nate • (chatter) 02:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment – Search query WCTR-TV on Google reveals about 2360 results. Same query on Google News shows 1 result, but when I click on the result it takes me nowhere. Nothing found on Google Scholar. Nothing found in local public library combined-database search. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 02:28, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep -- I think the article has some merit, though alot of cleanup would be needed to conform with Wiki standards. -- azumanga (talk) 03:27, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, possibly renaming -- The Google results for WCTR-TV I think show that this station is known and referred to locally, particularly for its school sports coverage. I in fact originally came to the page on Wikipedia to see if it had more information on what exactly the station was. Renaming the page to something like WCTR or WCTR-TV may make more sense.

    • Comment -- "WCTR" is out, as there's already a disambig page there. "WCTR-TV" might be okay, if there are no aerial TV stations with those calls. Otherwise, "WCTR-TV (Worcester)" would be more proper. -- azumanga (talk) 21:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep This article about a station is not one of a kind. –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom. This is just an ad to promote the station, and isn't an article. Bardcom (talk) 19:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per PeterCooperJr. --Oldak Quill 23:37, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per PeterCooperJr also - cohesion 01:44, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
