Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WNBA (disambiguation)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was redirect. By Wikipedia:Disambiguation, disambiguation pages should only link to articles that already exist; removing the bullet without an article, the only other link left is to WNBA, which I am redirecting to. If and when the article about the radio station is written, its notability can be discussed. - Liberatore(T) 15:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WNBA (disambiguation)

This disambiguation page seems to have been created as a response to User:66.245.68.185 and User:66.32.145.143, who appeared on 2004-06-13 each appeared for about one day in 2004, said that there was a "WNBA-AM" in Illinois, and then promptly disappeared forever - see Special:Contributions/66.245.68.185 and Special:Contributions/66.32.145.143. So, for the record - there are only two other uses of "WNBA" that even come up on the radar:

• 1440 WNBA (AM) Forest Park, Illinois was listed as a 200 watt station licenced to a Michael T. Rafferty in the Federal Radio Commission station lists in 1927 [1] and 1928 [2]. It did not exist in 1926 [3] or 1930 [4]. Note that the vast majority of callsigns back then were issued in sequential order starting with WxAx and then WxBx; i.e. the WNBA callsign was most likely just the license issued between WMBZ and WNBB, which probably could have included Pacific ships or Atlantic ship-to-shore stations at that time. In short: WNBA (AM) only existed in the late 1920s for 3 years at most, was of no particular notability, and will probably never have or need a Wikipedia article.
• If you do a Google search for WNBA -basketball -NBA the only other subject to come up in the first few pages is the Women's National Book Association.

• Keep obviously, WNBA is a valid search term for either of the above. Jcuk 00:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
