Delete as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of webcasters in California. Listcruft. Corvus cornix 17:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - merely being a list is not a criterion for deletion. Beyond that, external links should probably be purged, but maybe not. That's an editing concern, not an AfD concern. WilyD 19:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as just lists (I didn't check all of them, in fairness). JJL 21:12, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Since lists of TV stations are common on WP and webcasts rapidly increase their importance, I don't think this can be attributed as listcruft. If this is the only reason, they should be kept. Malc82 22:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all WP:NOT#DIR. Borderline A3. Changed vote, see below --Whsitchy 22:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Question What exactly are you referring to. It's not loosely associated, obviously not Point 2 and also not a TV Guide. Malc82 23:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Answer look at WP:NOT#DIR again, #3, "Directories, directory entries, TV/Radio Guides, or a resource for conducting business." What I mean by A3 is WP:CSD#A3. Sorry if I wasn't clear.--Whsitchy 23:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
        • Comment It is not a TV guide by WP:NOT#DIR. It lists stations, not schedules and I think you are misinterpreting the guideline. I will give you some credit for A3 (except for the Canada article, which is of higher standard). Malc82 23:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
          • Comment I know it's not TV guide. It's a radio guide. --Whsitchy 00:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
            • Comment Only in case you really didn't understand what I was arguing: this guideline refers to TV/Radio guides that list schedules, not to lists of the stations themselves. Malc82 00:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete all Sort of useless to have it a separate page when we could... Move links to the specific pages for that radio station (if said page exists). Would be more manageable that way to me. --Whsitchy 23:25, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into List of internet stations and/or List of radio stations in Alabama, etc. These mostly seem to be lists of local radio stations which also stream on the internet; those which are not local radio stations should be on List of internet stations. There is no reason for these separate lists. DHowell 04:58, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
