Talk:Birth of public radio broadcasting

Scope
Come on now, we don't even have an article for Early history of public radio broadcasting, or History public radio broadcasting, or even Public radio broadcasting, for that matter. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 15:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I believe Public broadcasting and Timeline of radio and Broadcast television would cover that.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Merge
This article should surely be merged into the history part of Radio broadcasting and/or History of broadcasting. There isn't really anything here that justifies this as a stand alone topic. MapReader (talk) 23:26, 22 December 2017 (UTC)+

Couldn't agree more, and would like to add there were public radio broadcasts before this one, so the title is misleading.--Maarten1963 (talk) 00:19, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Birth of public radio broadcasting → Origin of public radio broadcasting – WP:RS, WP:NDESC. It seems odd to be referring to a nonliving abstract concept as having a "birth", whereas "Origin" is used in sources: Radio's Hidden Voice: The Origins of Public Broadcasting in the United States, Encyclopedia of Radio 3-Volume Set.

 * comment: birth #3 A beginning or start; a point of origin.. I believe that also has the connotation of originating from a person, which is how the lead sentence here describes the topic. I could be convinced either way, just pointing out that the word isn't as inaccurate as one might think at first glance. --Netoholic @ 06:57, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Still informal and fairly slangish in my book; not encyclopedic IMO. Ribbet32 (talk) 19:34, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose Unless one is not familiar with the language, they would know that "birth" is commonly used to refer to the creation of inanimate objects and entities. For this reason I oppose as a needless move.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 13:07, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
