[edit] PopFusion Radio

Fails WP:NN (station less than three weeks old), essentially WP:SPAM, if not deleted, could be merged into Fusion Radio Chicago or MakRadio, contested speedy SkerHawx 14:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Because this is a new station and member of a new network they are building, I feel as though it is deserving of its own entry and not added on to the entrys for Fusion & MakRadio. The founding members of this station do meet the WP:NN guidelines and I still contest that those interested in internet radio would have an interest in knowing about this collaboration on an informational level. Additionally, there is no promotion of the station in this article. It states mere facts. Internetfignewton 15:03, 24 October 2006

It is because its a new station and new network that it doesn't yet deserve its own entry! The purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote (or even document) promising new things; it is to document already famous and well-known existing things. Xtifr _tälk 22:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom, clearly not yet notable. Xtifr _tälk 22:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The point is that Fusion & MakRadio are famous and the collaboration between these two entities is noteworthy. If Google would merge with AOL to form a new company, that new company would be *notable* enough for Wikipedia. Fusion and MakRadio are no Google or AOL I understand, however, to the internet radio community and those interested in internet radio they are, thus making it a worth while entry.

• A collaboration may be noteworthy or newsworthy, but that does not necessarily warrant an article in an encyclopedia. It may be important in the Internet Radio community, but "PopFusion Radio" only garners 6 google hits -- one is the site's homepage, two are at Wikipedia, two are at fusionchicago.com (the parent), and that leaves only one unaffiliated hit [1] at a database where you can "add your radio station to our database". It has zero Google News Hits. It has zero newsgroup hits. That's simply not enough notability, or even Verifiability for an article. As Xtifr noted above, the subject of the article already has to be famous or notable on its own. Then it warrants an article here. Peace. SkerHawx 00:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
