[edit] Nine FM

Nine FM (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Reason the page should be deleted:

I propose deleting this article because:

  • The title is not in the correct form for a radio station.
  • The material is covered adequately on the articles for WKIE, WRZA and WDEK, making this one redundant.
  • No offense, but it is not written to Wikipedia standards.

As I stated, I moved much of the noteworthy information to the three aforementioned articles. This one is pointless, and appears to rarely be updated. Perhaps the Nine FM article could just redirect to WRZA or something. --Fightingirish 16:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This article coordinates the other articles and is useful. --TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, if it's the brand name the company's known by we should include it, and we can't redirect it to just one of the three broadcast stations if they use all three, unless we were to merge -- but that wouldn't be correct as the stations have separate histories. I think this makes an appropriate umbrella article. We do have articles on media companies that own multiple stations. --Dhartung | Talk 22:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
    • It's not a brand name. It's the moniker used by a radio station (actually three signals all airing the same content. It goes against the naming conventions for radio stations. I transferred the information to the individual articles for each station. I think a redirect would be appropriate here, rather than a stand-along article. It's used for other stations, such as Drive 105. Otherwise, this could throw off the article naming conventions for other stations. My rationale for deleting this article is merely for naming conventions. Otherwise, the topic is very notable, and is covered in the same amount of detail in three other articles. Therefore, the Nine FM article is now redundant. --Fightingirish 23:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
