Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Radio. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Radio|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Radio. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Someone tried to draftify this, but they were accused of page-move vandalism when they did so and were informed that sources could be found on Google. I tried Googling, and got a bunch of non-independent/unreliable (blog posts, press releases, etc.); of course, those sorts of sources don't actually prove notability. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 14:18, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. I looked hopefully for some RS, based on the edit summary that you mentioned, but only found passing mentions in a very few reliable sources. Wikishovel (talk) 15:24, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and Wikishovel. I also tried to find sources in places that are known to have good, reliable coverage of UK radio and drew a blank. I found three items:
1. A Guardian radio review article from August 2023, passing mention of one programme produced by the station
2. An interview with a presenter in the Radio Times in January 2023, not about the station, not RS as it is an interview
3. A five-line local newspaper article from the Greenock Telegraph in June 2021 about a local artist who had a song played on Slack City
I also had a look for sources for "totallyradio", which is apparently the station's previous name. Despite this station apparently being 'the UK's longest running internet radio station' there was also nothing of note. I don't feel like these constitute WP:RS, even taken together.

Fails WP:GNG. All the sources contain passing mentions rather than WP:SIGCOV. I couldn't find anything online that could be utilised. GMH Melbourne (talk) 00:35, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Guy Finley

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no significant coverage of Guy Finley, his work or his teachings in reliable secondary sources. Most of it is blog posts and primary sources. A 2007 discussion ended with a Keep result, but the votes all relied on notability determined by Google hits, a Google featured link and Amazon sales rankings. These are outdated standards.

Non-notable defunct radio station. Fails WP:NCORP, WP:GNG. Cabrils (talk) 05:58, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cabrils:, I disagree with you. I think the article about Radio Océan/Atlantic 2000 deserves to stay because the topic is notable due to the station being one of the main peripheric radio stations of France. It's part of the radio history. Universalis (talk) 20:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Universalis: It's good you express an opinion here but could you please provide evidence of its notability that supports your claims, per WP:N? This will help the decision making process. Thanks Cabrils (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting, for editors arguing to Keep, you need to highlight sources in the article or that you have located that can help establish GNG notability.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources I added.

The station's founder, Mike Webb, chose Long Way to the Top to put his baby to air on April 14, 1989. The new FM player tore off a huge chunk of the ratings at the expense of 2NX, Newcastle's existing hit music station."

Instead of dishing out party favours, new owner Bill Caralis cut costs and staff and flicked the switch to night music networked out of his Lismore station. ... When they left in November 1993 to join Triple M in Adelaide, the failure to find a winning replacement spearheaded the ratings nose-dive that paved the way for 2HD's $2.3million buy-out of NEW's mostly local shareholders in 1994. But after five years of Labor control, NEW is still a long way from the glory of its early years under founder Mike Webb."

The outgoing chairman of the Sandgate-based broadcasters, John Price, said Friday's official change of ownership would 'enable the NSW ALP to concentrate on better serving the Hunter community'. The sale price is believed to have been $12.5million"

    7. The article notes: "He has spent an estimated $40 million in the past 12 months on additional licences and a state-of-the-art broadcast centre, and is the force behind a shake-up of commercial radio. So, asks Mark Day, who is Bill Caralis? ... While Caralis's Broadcast Operations Pty Ltd is a private company, he has every right to tell us all to go to hell. ... He stunned the radio industry last year when he bought two Newcastle stations -- NEW FM and 2HD -- from the NSW Labor Council for more than $11 million, double the 'Bill will need to have deep pockets' value ascribed to them less than a year earlier."

There is sufficient coverage in multiple reliable sources to allow the subject to pass the general notability guideline, requiring "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". --Yours sincerely, Bas (or TechGeek105) (talk to me) 01:41, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
