[edit] Radio Music Shop

Article created by user:Radiomusicshop. That looks like advertising to me. No indication of any notability acquired in the two months of the company's existence. -- RHaworth 13:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. Entry was designed to give information on the station, much like BBC, Heart FM etc. Its only been running for two months, so of course no notability yet. It is referenced on other sites, and was created as there were stubs on other wiki entries such as freeview. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Radiomusicshop (talk • contribs)

No notability yet - so you are admitting it is spam! Wikipedia is here to report notability, not to help people gain notability! -- RHaworth 16:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - may be notable, but there are no independent third-party sources to demonstrate notability. Delete unless sources can be found. Also possible WP:COI issues. Walton monarchist89 14:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Abstain but comment - It is notable (or we would have to delete thousands of less notable UK local FM, satellite, cable and DAB radio stations!) to hold its own article on Wikipedia because it is a national radio station broadcasting on the Freeview platform, unique in that it allows people to call in and buy the songs played on the station. However, I do share the conflict of interest concerns with the article, and indeed it will need a major cleanup for spam and references added to establish its notability. If it was a small local station, I would vote delete, but because it is a national UK station on the most popular digital television platform, I would like to see how this AfD nominations pans out. If it is deleted because it is not notable, then it sets a worrying precedent for the vast majority of less notable UK DAB, FM, satellite and cable radio stations, and I will contact the radio stations WikiProject for a major review of UK radio station articles. --tgheretford (talk) 19:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I am also concerned about the COI aspect of this article. However, there are third party sources[1] [2], so I think the subject meets the notability guidelines.--Kubigula (talk) 20:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
