PURE:FM[edit]
Tagged as speedy as advertising, but may have merit so sent here. No vote from me. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 10:20, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- merge and redirect to the home student body, as we usually do with student radio stations. Just zis Guy you know? 10:42, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per above; Heavily clean up as the current page is terrible vanity/advertising. The article deserves to exist (at least, as part of a larger article), but in its current state, you might as well just blank the page and start from scratch. -- Kicking222 16:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge unless someone coughs up a callsign or a decent case for notability. Rewrite either way. Haikupoet 03:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I would like to see the entry for Pure:FM kept in Wikipedia but edited to bring it in-line with the Wikipedia rules; it would be a shame to lose this web presence, but I can understand the reasons behind deletion. Best regards - Alex H (UPSU.net webteam).
- If you're concerned about keeping the page then what I would suggest is finding out if there are either any notable alumni or an FCC license. If it's a part 15 campus station, it almost certainly isn't going to be notable enough for Wikipedia -- the exception would be something like WTBU at Boston University, which was Howard Stern's first radio gig. On the other hand, the general consensus has been to keep licensed stations even if they're in relatively small markets, so if you have a callsign you stand a much better chance.

- Thankyou for that information Haikupoet. As I'm relatively new to this (but would consider it to be a shame if Pure:FM lost their entry at Wikipedia if it was at all avoidable), are there any other ways we could go about securing it's place? As an aside, I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but the station is a not-for-profit entity - the only site advert (at the time of writing at least) only makes a small contribution towards the station's overall maintenance costs - and as such stands to gain little or nothing in terms of revenue. Best regards - Alex H (UPSU.net webteam).

- Re-write: no objection to having an article, but not this one. - Runcorn 22:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
