The result was delete - the two keeps are invalid. There is no "right" to inclusion - one has to prove merit. Also, assertion of notability does not prove notability as required.Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep Student TV Stations have a right to an entry in Wikipedia. Some are older than national broadcasters, and all of the UK ones (to my knowledge) could provide evidence that they are discussed in 'third party sources' (as per WP:ORG). Also, I'd like to know why none of the US stations are up for deletion. JMalky 11:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Nothing has a "right" to be included in Wikipedia. If the station is not notable then the article should be deleted. If you find US student stations that aren't notable, feel free to nominate them. If you believe that this station is notable, back it up with citations. Otto4711 13:22, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep This article clearly asserts notability. scope_creep 17:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. No actual indication of notability. Sandstein 19:56, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The assertion of notability means nothing. A Google search for "Demon TV" yields 1,820 results when you remove Wikipedia mirrors, with the top five results giving us their own site, two non-related TV.com articles, another self-made site, and an advertisement for the domain name "demon.tv." The idea that one student-run station deserves to be included because some student-run stations are notable is downright absurd, like saying that all people who own pest-extermination companies should be included because one extermination company owner is included. The same can be said for the argument that this article should be allowed to say because similarly non-qualified articles exist -- instead of letting the crap pile up in the bowl because no one's flushed the toilet so far, we should hold the handle down until nothing floats back to the surface.
