If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether an article is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting heads (or socks).

  • Don't delete. — Possible single purpose account: 64.231.137.99 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.
  • Why would this be deleted? Many people are interested in RadioX, including myself —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.46.43 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-30T00:11:00
  • Do Not Delete - This is new technology for internet radio. Streamerp2p is an awesome creation .. live radio broadcasts have been going on since July 2006 and are continually adding new shows!! Don't stop something that is "working" and "growing" ... people contribute to this from all over the world. /Jackie Jack - Listener and Participant Talk RadioX — Possible single purpose account: 67.70.46.43 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.
  • I would strongly advise against deletion since the article has given me information I was looking for, and that is what I expect from an encyclopedia. Dr. von Wangenheim —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.104.55.8 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-30T02:26:25
  • The outcry against the deletion of this page is a result of the many people involved with Radio X and Streamer P2P discusted with the idea that this article should be deleted. While they are not 'official members'of Wikipedia, they are passionate about the Radio X network. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Badseed333 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-30T02:58:58
  • Keep MnementhVII (Streamerp2p coder) How do new things get posted on Wikipedia?, sometimes it's going to be by somebody connected to the topic, as is the case here. How long is the 'grace period' for such a post to exist, without somebody not somehow connected to it posting, before it gets declared 'from a single purpose account' and nuked?. The current contributors to the article are admittedly all listeners to the stream and not completely independent. (but are not sock puppets). RadioX/streamerp2p is creating something that could be a new internet meme, that of 'live podcasting', and especially that of broadcasting live skype conferences to do chat shows. This has not previously been possible without bandwidth for streaming servers, and the accompanying constant donation begging they require. It currently seems to be a popular thing to do and is rapidy attracting new contributors. RadioX now has a full live schedule every evening, and some currently established shows from elsewhere are also appearing on their own channels, Chaos theory radio being one. I say it is worthy of having an article here. On the other hand, 'TalkRadioX - banned from Wikipedia' is a cool parting gift ;-) If it is deleted, can it be re-added at some later date when it has grown more? — Possible single purpose account: MnementhVII (talk • contribs) has made few or no other contributions outside this topic.
    Comment - this article isn't deleted with extreme prejudice. If it does become notable, then we would more than happily accept an article on it. But now it isn't. (By the way, why are there all these single purpose accounts?) MER-C 11:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. —Khoikhoi 03:47, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Reads as advertising. No assertion of notability. And yes, if Talk RadioX becomes notable in the future, a new article will likely be created for it. Resolute 04:56, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: "Though Streamer is a relatively unknown program the advantage of broadcasting there is the possibilty of unlimited listeners. Talk RadioX is looking to fill it's schedule up with original content 24 hours a day and is currently looking for shows. Also the station is adding RIAA safe music as well.". Not yet notable.

  • Keep: Okay, I have read all the comments on the "main page" and on the "delete" page ... some of which are my own. I guess I should be noted as a Wikipedia virgin "trying" to understand what is going on here. Obviously, many view Talk RadioX and the streamerp2p as "not notable" and "single purpose" ... well as for not notable, if everything "new" was "not notable", how would technology ever advance??? .. AND as for "single purpose", what else is it supposed to be? Maybe I'm wrong, but I consider the Wikipedia like a dictionary and when i'm looking in the dictionary for "one word" .. thats ALL I want to see. Could someone that knows the ins and outs of Wikipedia please explain what exactly it is that needs to be done, changed or ammended to "keep" this post. May I also add, on the Radio Dan and Intern Jessica show, they have made MANY references to "Wikipedia" and use this as a valuable "search tool" for many of their discussions! If it wasn't for the broadcasters of Talk RadioX, I still wouldn't know that Wikipedia exists. For all those that wish to "delete", I encourage you to tune in for the shows and if you wish to verbally discuss your point of view and give some valuable tips to help save this post, call Radio Dan at 8pm EST, we will all be listening as we are all concerned about the "delete" discussion and process. /I personally would appreciate any assistance that you could give. / Jackie Jack —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.22.148 (talk • contribs) 2006-09-30T17:59:59
    Comment: Wikipedia is not here to promote new technology - it is an encyclopedia. We have a number of notability guidelines which can be used to determine if a subject is notable enough to warrant an article, see Wikipedia:Notability (web) for a relevant one. Also worth a read is Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:Five pillars, Wikipedia:About and finally Wikipedia:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Thanks/wangi 17:17, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • MnememthVII Mine is definitely a single purpose account. I opened it to post in this discussion, rather than being an anonymous IP. I see it earned a 'single purpose account' tag, which actually appears worse than an anonymous posting. I think people outside of Wikipedia perceive it to be a 'peoples encyclopedia', where anybody can post things they think may be of interest to others. But that isn't really how it works, there is a heirarchy of sorts operating here. Correct? How would an article about the Streamerp2p app/network/community itself be accepted?. After several years of it's existence, nobody else has created an article, so it's likely to be me and my 'single purpose account' that does it. I see the other p2p radio system 'peercast' is on here, the article also having been created by it's developer, and that is marked as biased (but not pending delete) even though it contains factual innacuracies that are detremental to peercast.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MnementhVII (talk • contribs) 2006-09-30T18:52:31
