another non-notable pirate radio station Rapido (talk) 10:34, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Along with MAR, these are the two stations that are notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - can you explain RJN's notability, as currently it appears to fail WP:N? Rapido (talk) 11:36, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - please note this has been AFD'd before - twice - altho' this may not be obvious as a different title was used this time: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Radio_Jackie_North and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Radio_Jackie_North_(2nd_nomination). Both times, result was delete. Rapido (talk) 23:01, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this radio station. Joe Chill (talk) 03:05, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Ugh. I challenge Andy Dingley to show that this subject is indeed notable by providing evidence of non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. Primary sources and geocities (LOL) pages don't cut it. Besides, didn't Yahoo take Geocities down last year?????? We should probably task a bot to remove all those links. JBsupreme (talk) 11:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John Hind's Rebel Radio or Sue Carpenter's 40 Watts from Nowhere should do for published books. For newspapers, there's catalogued coverage (mostly of RIB raids) on the conceptnews.org website. This also applies to MAR.

I wasn't aware that also having coverage on geocities removed any credibility that a topic might otherwise have.

As I've said before, most of these pirates are thoroughly non-notable and I can't justify keeping them. However (of the North West pirates) these two stations were long-established and stable, so do warrant coverage. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:03, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not even so much as the barest claim of notability in the article. Probably should be SALTed now that it's been deleted at 3 seperate AFDs, the last of which was just months ago. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I second the above opinion to WP:SALT the article name, if the outcome is delete. Rapido (talk) 19:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I also second the above opinion to WP:SALT, should this article be deleted. JBsupreme (talk) 20:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
