[edit] Recent changes

The page was moved to "680 News/CFTR", which is not an encyclopedic title. A Google search finds nobody in the world referring to the station as "680 News/CFTR," and every other broadcast station in Canada is referred to by call signs. (See a previous debate at Talk:CIVT, which I'll admit was a much more borderline case than CFTR.)

The inline disambiguation to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator is great; if there was a sentiment that this wasn't enough, and CFTR should either redirect there directly with an inline disambig on the other side, or that CFTR should be a disambiguation page itself, then the page should go to CFTR (radio); see CHUM (radio).

Five external links entirely about CFTR and relevant to the subject of the article – a station history from the Canadian Communications Foundation at Ryerson with some details not included in the article, a tribute site shedding light on its Top 40 heyday, coverage maps showing the extent of the station's signal historically and today, and photos of the transmitter (of great interest to the tower-hunting subculture) – were deleted without explanation, and replaced with a link to the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement. The BBM doesn't say a single thing about CFTR on the public portions of its site. I've reverted the changes to the external links. Samaritan 01:56, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Too long a list

Recommend paring the list down to current employees and only notable past employees. --Janus Shadowsong ^(talk)/(contribs) 19:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
