I contest the notability of this application, after all it is just another internet radio application for the iPhone. All references in the article are to the press release of guess who: Time Warner. Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that since July 2008, this article has a tag that the article is a pure ad, and that has not been removed yet. Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:29, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, It does need a clean up, but with 1400 G News hits, and with coverage by the Washington Post, USA Today, Reuters UK, NY Times, among many others, it is clearly notable. CTJF83 chat 04:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly asking: just because any product is done by any major corporation is enough to have it included in Wikipedia? Any product done by any corporation will have million of news sites to reference to it. Honestly, I am just asking; since the concept of “noticeable” may be different for some people. Thanks.

I think I understand your question. The sources I've linked cause AOL Radio to pass the WP:GNG requirements, which means it is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. For the other part of your question a product may be part of a major corp and not meet the GNG requirements. Not the best explanation, note Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where next?. It is an Iphone app, which Iphone and Apple is a major product/company, but if you check my G News link, it doesn't have the significant coverage to meet the GNG requirements linked above. I hope this helps a little.... CTJF83 chat 08:01, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, it is a relevant product that is featured in radio advertisements produced by CBS Radio who actually runs both the AOL Radio and Yahoo Radio services. If anything, the AOL Radio and Yahoo Radio articles should be merged into the parent product CBS Radio Online, but by no means should the articles and their facts be deleted.--KJRehberg (talk) 19:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, the article should still be Keep but they should not be merged. In the interest of historical significance, AOL Radio article should be adjusted to reflect the history of the product and that its current incarnation is the CBS Radio Online product, whatever article that may be.--KJRehberg (talk) 04:16, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, after understanding the previous explanation, I also consider this article should be kept, but I aslo strongly suggest to get those two articles merged. Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 05:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
