[edit] Gotham Radio
An internet radio with around 300 listeners. I'm impressed. Delete. --Sn0wflake 14:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I completely agree if Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Radio KoL results in merge or delete. I created it to show how unimportant these stations are, but if Radio KoL who has only 125 listeners stays, i'll be voting keep for one with 300. Hedley 14:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)Now that Radio KoL has been merged, I can see a consensus on internet radio notability, and as I result vote delete. Hedley 22:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)- This is ridiculous. Decisions should be made on a per-case basis. The sheer fact that you created this article to prove a point (which is not being proven, BTW) is enough to earn you a temporary ban. I would ask that you reconsidered your actions on this case. --Sn0wflake 15:47, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep, less notable than Radio KoL but notable enough for Wikipedia. Grue 15:12, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)- Actually as it's looks like WP:POINT ("If someone creates an article on what you believe to be a silly topic, and the community disagrees with your assessment on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion... don't create an article on an entirely silly topic just to get it listed on VfD."), I abstain from voting.

- I didn't create it just to get it listed. I wrote it to stay so it can go with all the immensely popular stations with a few hundred listeners that people vote to keep. With no rulings against re-listing on VfD, i'll be happy to relist any other similiarly un-notable, less popular stations on the basis that this has been deleted. Hedley 21:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Sure, the note on your User page leaves your neutral position on this issue quite clear. Tread carefully, some sysops are not very forgiving around these parts. Anyway, one useless article down, a couple thousand to go. --Sn0wflake 00:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete. I propose a similar limit to that we have for books. Less than 500 is far too few, and of the order of vanity publishing. A notable internet radio station would be peaking it 5000, minimum. Preferably 10,000. Average Earthman 20:25, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Delete — Perhaps add a one or two-liner to the SHOUTcast page in a section on stations using their technology. — RJH 01:05, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Gotham has about 200 listeners on right now; Digitally Imported close to 4000. And this is on a Sunday afternoon (where I am). --Idont Havaname 21:12, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. The decision on Radio KoL was merge and went with Kingdom of Loathing. Merge if there's an appropriate place for this. Jinian 13:11, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
