[edit] Sex Panther Radio

Sex Panther Radio (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

College Radio Program with no clear evidence of notability. No reliable third party sources from what I can see; this is all based on primary sources and even those don't make a strong case for this meeting any guidelines. In my opinion this should be deleted. Isotope23 00:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • This radio program was detailed and mentioned in several editions of the Campus newspaper, a secondary source of information un-related to and not connected to the program itself. Stingray23464
  • The organizations may be separate of each other, but the fact that both the program and newspaper are affiliated with the same university really doesn't make the source all that independent or impartial. Delete unless coverage from third-party independent sources turns up. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 05:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Exactly. The fact that the campus newspaper wrote a story about a campus radio show doesn't do much to establish external notability. What I'd want to see is media sources off campus taking notice.--Isotope23 13:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete "online radio program" at a college campus. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 12:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I've found the program mentioned in a Wavy TV Ten news report concerning student activities on CNU's campus. (Wavy TV Ten is the local news channel). -Stingray23464
  • Delete -- nn. Fails WP:ORG. -- Longhair\talk 11:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Coverage from third-party independent sources has been shown. -- Stingray23464
  • No, it really has not... I have yet to see any evidence of that provided. You added a link to Wavy TV 10... where is this mentioned there? Where is the non-trivial coverage?--Isotope23 13:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Wavy TV Ten covered activities on campus surrounding the addition of Sexual Orientation to the University's non-discrimination policy. If you're aware of the political leanings of CNU's administration then I'm sure you know that this was a big debate and hot political topic. As such, Wavy TV ten came out to cover the activities. In the process, they interviewed many students and showcased Sex Panther Radio. The radio show was in strong support for the addition on the policy and created some controversy over the topic. -- Stingray23464
  • In response to the deletion tag, another user has updated the article in question to include the Warped Tour website and information. From what I can gather, Warped tour granted the DJs access to bands normally restricted to the press and FM radio stations. If the Vans company isn't an ouside independent source then please clarify what your looking for further. -- Stingray23464
  • Ok, but where is the citation that supports your Wavy TV statement? If this was a whole segment on the radio show, that would be a start towards meeting the multiple, non-trivial, 3rd party coverage that an article should have, but there needs to be a source. As for the Warped Tour info, granting the DJ's access to bands doesn't make any real case for inclusion. Please see WP:ATT; this explains the attribution necessary. Ideally, articles should have multiple, non-trivial coverage from 3rd party sources. A couple magazine writeup, news stories specifically about the subject in the article, etc.--Isotope23 13:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Let me do some research into it. Because I'm not associated with the program, all the information in the article is based off of web searches and common knowledge on campus, as well as a few updates that were not done by me. Is there a timeframe for deleation? --Stingray23464
  • The debate usually runs about 5 days (sometimes it goes over because nobody gets around to closing the debate right when it ends).--Isotope23 17:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[b]Delete. This article has no place on this wiki. Plus, the show sucks. Serious. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.125.247.124 (talk) 12:33, 9 April 2007 (UTC).
