All-Campus Radio Network

Contested prod. Original deletion reason: article fails to assert why this internet radio station is notable. Lacks 3rd party verifiable references

Speedy keep. Procedural nominations are not obligatory on contested PRODs. We have enough to do at AFD without having to consider them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:12, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please address the issue of substance - is this radio station notable from proper sources. Thanks, Gwernol 22:03, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion in that case, except that the trivia section has got to go. I couldn't tell whether you agreed with the PROD reason. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:12, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's not inherently notable, unless it's an FCC licensed broadcaster. The Ohio University radio station is WOUB-FM and WOUB (AM), and from what I can tell, this partiuclar "college station" hasn't been broadcasting since 1974, when it went cable. The article itself doesn't suggest notability, even if the claim of being the first college/cable radio station is verified by sources. I like the "We have enough to do at AfD" argument, thanks to everyone for taking the time from their busy schedules. Mandsford (talk) 23:54, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are a couple of newspaper articles mentioning it in passing but all are focused on another subject. Lacks notability.--Rtphokie (talk) 12:08, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support/keep if all radio stations with an FCC call sign even if defunct are notable i can't see why a network of radios even at the campus level would not be notable^MY♥_INchile 06:55, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Because, unlike licensed radio stations, there is no consensus among wikipedia editors that radio networks are inherently notable.--Rtphokie (talk) 00:42, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Despite the name, I don't see anything in the article that indicates that it's on any campus, let alone "all campus", or that you can listen to it on a "radio" or that it's even a "network" (which would involve linking more than one broadcaster).
