[edit] KTIM Online

Apologies in advance for the length; from what I can gather, this one has a bit of a backstory. The subject of the article is a short-range radio station broadcasting from a summer camp, with a listenership that, by the nature of the station, as the article readily concedes, does not exceed the membership of the camp. The article's creator has on several occasions appended the information to the article about the camp (Camp Timberlane for Boys), but his edits have been reverted by User:BaronLarf on the grounds that the information is insufficiently notable and, in any case, rather unencyclopedic; having inferred that BaronLarf meant that a new article on the topic should be created, the user created this article. I explained to the user that he might remove my PROD tag, and he did, although he seems amenable to merging. Of course, if the information doesn't belong in the original article (I think it does not), that isn't much help; I think, then, that here delete surely is in order and that the debate about the inclusion of the information in the original article should likely be had by those editors most familiar with that article and general Wikipedia guidelines.

Yeah, I agree. I think I should briefly mention KTIM Online in the Camp Timberlane for Boys article, but significantly shorten it into only a few sentences in the History section of the Camp Timberlane article. After all, the podcast is a large part of the camp, and deserves a brief mewntion (but not a full article, or even a full paragraph) Sounds good?

• Delete. Not notable. --BaronLarf 12:58, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete if it can't be merged, which is the obvious thing. It merits a paragraph in the main article, if the main article merits keeping at all. Tyrenius 02:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Yeah. It's not notable (even though I don't like the notability guideline at all), and the summary in the main article is decent enough. I still thinks that WIkipedia is "the combined sum of all human knowledge", as it's fundraising slogan says. But this article is well-enough represented in it's main article that this can be deleted. 66.82.9.89 02:45, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
