Marquette University Television[edit]

Student television station. Article is poorly sourced and a WP:BEFORE search does turn up much of anything. It may have won a regional Emmy award for Student Commitment , but I can't verify that (I went to the Chicago emmy award website and couldn't find anything) and it doesn't really seem to be that notable of an award anyway. The article had to be written by someone who works there, the extensive list of the equipment the station owns is not encyclopedic at all. Rusf10 (talk) 22:51, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Marquette University. No indication of notability, merits maybe a sentence or two on the main page. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 00:19, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep we keep student radio stations all the time, can't think of a reason to not keep a student TV station for a University that has been broadcasting since 1976. Editing is the proper course of action here.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:55, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're comparing apples to oranges. Radio stations are usually assumed notable because they are broadcast over public airwaves. This is a closed-circuit cable tv station. From WP:BCAST "Cable television - Generally, national or regional cable channels are presumed notable. Public access cable stations are not presumed notable unless they serve a major city or a large regional area. For example, a statewide public access channel, or a channel for all of New York City could be presumed notable. A "governmental access" feed that runs a text generator of community events plus city council meetings for a population of 50,000 is not generally presumed notable, but can be conferred notability by meeting the standards set forth in WP:CORP." This station does not pass WP:CORP.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:07, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as per Editorofthewiki. I can just about see that someone might search specifically for the station but there really isn't enough to justify more than perhaps a single sentence in the main university article. Paulmcdonald's statement shows a lack of understanding, as Rusf10 notes. - Sitush (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps. I've been wrong before. I'll be wrong again. I leave it up to the closer of the discussion to make that call.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Marquette University Student Media which covers the different newspapers, journals, student radio (online) and student television (closed-circuit). It can be summarized as a section there if there is more to say besides the single line. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:00, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Marquette University Student Media, which discusses this and is a better target than Marquette University. Student TV stations are rarely notable, and the current article has no inline referencing nor secondary sources. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:16, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to the University media article as suggested above Atlantic306 (talk) 10:04, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
