This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Radio. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Radio|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Radio. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Moments to Remember (XM Satellite Radio show)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a radio program, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for radio programs. As always, radio programs are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed -- they need to show that they pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them in sources independent of themselves. But this cites no coverage about the show at all, and instead is referenced entirely to the host's own self-published uploads of old episodes of the show to YouTube, which is not an independent or notability-building source.
Simply existing is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt the show from having to have better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 03:30, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable producer, lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources, failing WP:GNG. Previous AFD in 2010 ended in Keep but editors there provided no proof of significant coverage either. Sources provided and found in Google are mere mentions of subject, while the series produced are certainly notable. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:17, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Nothing here of substance. Nothing on an internet search or anything else. The Imdb sources look like he might have had a very minor "reporter" role. Reporters on TV come and go, but this one doesn't show up anywhere. — Maile (talk) 13:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Only linked source is the subject's IMDB page and a quick Google search shows no results of note. Fails GNG. Madeleine961 (talk) 20:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm surprised there's as little material as I've found. Amador was indeed the weather presenter at KHJ from 1983 to 1989 (he was dumped in a massive overhaul of the station), he was indeed at KNX, and he apparently indeed had minor VO and acting roles. But I'd expect more SIGCOV, especially in the LA market in that time period, out of the Times and Herald Examiner. I don't have it. Delete.

Sýn (media corporation)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NORG. The first reference cites Sýn's website, the second one its own media outlet Vísir.is. All publications I found either contain trivial info or are news about acquisitions or sales of the company's assets. In brief, the company does not meet WP:ORGCRITE and is not inherently notable, according to the same guideline. Ur frnd (talk) 00:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Pretty straightforward WP:NCORP fail. BD2412 T 02:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It would be surprising, and a rather serious indictment of our current NCORP practice, if Iceland's sole private TV news provider failed to clear the bar. Here is an informative book passage about the company. Here is a chapter providing substantial information on the company in the context of a general analysis of the Icelandic media system. (Both of the foregoing are in edited volumes published by the University of Gothenburg.) Competing outlets such as RÚV, MBL, and Viðskiptablaðið all have a considerable amount of reporting about the company, much of which seems quite substantial to me. (I will refrain, however, from attempting to anticipate whether the mere circumstance of actual independence from the article subject will be deemed sufficient for any of those articles to meet the circular requirements of WP:ORGIND.) -- Visviva (talk) 03:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Could be that subsidiaries are notable while the parent Sýn is not (WP:INHERITORG). But the sources you provided are indeed something, let's see what other editors have to say. Ur frnd (talk) 08:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sorry if this sounds harsh but if search for sources for Iceland's largest mass media company failed to actually find sources then there was something seriously wrong with that search and it should be redone. Alvaldi (talk) 07:05, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Fine, but I would rather see comments demostrating how the organization is notable than criticizing my nomination per se. Ur frnd (talk) 08:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Outside of what has already been shown above, we got multiple full page features[1][2] in the largest newspaper in the country and a four page feature on its competition with the goverment owned Landssíminn. Alvaldi (talk) 20:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Well, this does add weight to the comment above. All in all, I guess we've now started reaching a consensus for keep. Comments by you and Visviva seem quite convincing, so I am fine if this nomination gets closed early. Thanks for expanding the article and finding these sources. Ur frnd (talk) 14:20, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Morrisson (singer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Musician and radio DJ. The claims of notability are a #15 Hot Dance Airplay song in 2006, and one of his songs playing at a club scene in an episode of a NBC TV show. Neither of these meet WP:NMUSIC. All content edits are by two accounts that never edited anything else on Wikipedia (except a deleted draft article on his band). One reference is to the charts for the #15 hit, the other is vague and to a magazine that mentions a lot of musicians in passing. Here2rewrite (talk) 18:37, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Hit Music Network

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I stumbled across this article, which cites no sources and contains large dollops of apparent WP:OR. I tried to find some sources to back up the information presented, but couldn't find any WP:SIGCOV in the UK press, nor the specialist media press. There are a few passing mentions of the Hit Music Network on Radio Today, but no significant coverage specifically about it. The very generic name doesn't help, as there's a lot of coverage of other "hit music [radio] networks" worldwide, but I'm not sure this relatively short-lived "network" warrants an article beyond the articles for the stations contained within it.

Much of the article appears to be WP:OR or is not verified, but the article contains four references, although two are from the same publication and one is from the owner so is not independent. An alternative is to merge and redirect to Global Media & Entertainment. Peter James (talk) 23:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm not in favour of deleting articles but the issue here is the lack of independent references for what was a very brief usage of the name which I believe was never used on air? Hits Radio Network ended up being subsumed into the Capital Radio Network article so if this article does go then the salient points should be mentioned within that article and if this looks likely in a few days I'd look to do just that so the information here isn;t lost to Wikipedia.

I have 26 ProQuest hits for "Global Radio" "Hit Music Network" between 2008 and 2010, and these are I think the most instructive/useful. In my opinion, the correct call is a redirect to Capital (radio network) while adding the references indicated below. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:37, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wallace, Cathy (3 October 2008). "Global rejig creates comms opportunity". PR Week. pp. 18–19. ProQuest 217589779.
Global Radio is set for the biggest rebranding exercise in commercial radio history. The owner of the Heart ,Classic FM, XFM and Galaxy brands has decided to scrap its 42-station One Network. Stations such as Chiltern Radio, Power FM and Southern FM will all fall either into the Hit Music network, which will be headed up by Capital FM, the Heart network, or the Galaxy network. Four further networks based on standalone brands—Classic FM, XFM, Gold and LBC—will make up the seven pillars of Global's new structure. Stations coming under the Hit Music network will keep their current names and the amount of networked and syndicated programmes these stations carry will be minimal.
Bintliff, Esther (14 September 2010). "Capital to go national in radio shake-up". Financial Times. p. 24. ProQuest 750491962.
By January 2011, the Capital brand will replace the six Galaxy stations across the UK, as well as the Hit Music Network stations Red Dragon, Trent, RAM and Leicester Sound, bringing Capital's audience to more than 6.3m. Local breakfast and drivetime shows will remain locally produced.
Woods, Adam (18 December 2010). "The New Capitalists". Music Week. p. 15. ProQuest 818785339.
The creation of Heart was never going to be the limit of Tabor's modernising zeal. The dissolution of The One Network threw up a handful of spare stations with a pop slant that would temporarily become the Hit Music Network, as well as one - Power FM in Hampshire - that was added to the Galaxy stable.
"The other stations that were left, people would say, 'OK, I get Heart, but I don't quite get what these are.' And it got to a point where we said, 'Look, these stations are all playing the same records; they are all driving the same hits through the charts - they ought to be one network.'"

User:Sammi Brie, I'm unclear why you are presenting sources here in this discussion but are arguing for a Redirect. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz Because the sources back up the assertion (in support of a redirect) that the branding was never used on air, the "network" was a loose association with minimal networked programming, it was short-lived, and the stations included all went to the same place.
