[edit] Source Radio

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

This was originally a PROD, contested at DRV, and restored automatically. Concerns remain regarding a lack of reliable sources, and the notability of the university radio station. Delete. Xoloz (talk) 11:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete unless someone cites significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject during the course of this AfD. --Stormie (talk) 12:17, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep Due to famous alumni. Since the famous alumni don't even appear that famous, I'm talking very weak keep. It is probably possible to find reliable sources for much of the content, but the article does very little to establish notability. -Verdatum (talk) 15:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Earlier versions of the page linked to alumni at current gigs, better establishing notoriety. Mykej (talk) 17:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - as the article is now, it doesn't establish notability, in my opinion. It fails to cite reliable, third-party sources. TheIslander 18:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete; lack of RSs means a failure of WP:N. More importantly, all the key information in the article is unsourced resulting in a failure to meet WP:V, which is policy. BlueValour (talk) 20:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Look at the category "College Radio Stations in the United States". I would argue that all of those stations are notable, and that Source radio is no less notable for not being in the U.S. Verifiability is a doddle, for anyone actually attempting to verify. Granted, the appropriate links should be included in the article. Mykej (talk) 21:48, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - university sports and activities tend to be far more notable in the States because they attract significant media attention which, with a few obvious exceptions, they don't get in the UK. Be that as it may, for this page to survive it needs reliable sources showing why it is notable. BlueValour (talk) 22:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The station gets some WP:RS notice beyond the university. One notable/semi-notable alum claim is now sourced, checking the others. Most of the coverage is under the station's old call signs and old FM signal. Notable as a licensed radio station with just enough reach into the community and some history. • Gene93k (talk) 04:41, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
