Redirect to University of St Andrews: It's best to move the contents there. _SUPER ^ASTIG 01:42, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are three references to The Saint newspaper, two to the University of St Andrews, and one to St Andrews in Focus magazine. These organisations are all reputable and completely independent of STAR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ombtom (talk • contribs) 17:11, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ombtom: I wanna clarify what you said. Since the station is run by volunteers from the university, are the newspaper and magazine run by the community? _SUPER ^ASTIG 11:00, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Regardless, those are not sources that would establish notability. Student newspapers and the University's own web site are not really going to establish notability,. -- Whpq (talk) 13:46, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The sources cited are all connected with the University of St Andrews and so do not establish notability beyond the University. If there was wider coverage then that might suggest wider notability, but as things stand I am not seeing this. I do think STAR could be covered in either the University of St Andrews Students' Association article or the main University of St Andrews article, but I do not see evidence that would persuade me that there is justification for it having its own article.

Redirect preserving history. This is part of the university, the university itself is obviously notable, so adding information about the radio station in the university’s page, even if it only comes from the university’s own sources, is OK as per WP:ABOUTSELF Samboy (talk) 04:10, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
