Talk:Freedomain Radio

Notability
As a stand alone article, this does not have much potential. Too much of it is simply a SPS listing of the various guests. Note, the previous article page was deleted back on 12:57, 31 December 2006 by. While 7 years of podcasts may have expanded the listing of guests, etc., I do not think this fact saves the article. It should be restored to its redirect function. – S. Rich (talk) 17:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm forced to agree. There is basically one source in the article that is actually about the show, and its a very critical source (edit) and basing an article on it would result in a very skewed article(/edit). The rest is WP:SPS WP:PRIMARY and the selection of which of the thousands of shows to talk about is WP:OR. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:39, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Let's see what  &  have to say.  – S. Rich (talk) 17:44, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * If you want other opinions, it would be a good idea to avoid the appearance of canvassing by posting a broad solicitation on the Molyneux talk page. I believe there's additional content in various sections of the Molyneux article which would be more appropriately located here.  There are RS discussions of FDR content and controversies which would tend to support notability.  SPECIFICO  talk  18:09, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm confused, SPECIFICO, what was the point of pulling all this info out of Molynuex' article and plopping it here, just to declare this article un-notable? If the show does not meet notability requirements, we should kill this article and move all the related material back to the main article. Personally, I would prefer to keep this article and clean the other one.
 * Gaijin42, it is not OR, when only a few notable guests with their own articles are selected. The article gives no implication as to why or how those guests were selected -- TRUTHER2012 21:23, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It was Gaijin who tagged this article, not I. See my comment above.  SPECIFICO  talk  22:01, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, SPECIFICO. I strike out the previous comment. Btw, I dont think the @ping feature works (at least not for me)-- TRUTHER2012 13:40, 8 June 2014 (UTC)


 * POVFORK

In some respects, this is a perverse WP:POVFORK. The topic, all by itself, is notable to the extent it serves to expand on Molyneux's views. But there is little secondary source to say it is notable in and of itself. At the same time, by hacking out the Freedomain stuff from the Molyneux article, it serves to diminish Molyneux's apparent notability. To avoid this unfair and pointy result, the article should be restored to its prior redirect state so that Molyneux's guests and their remarks can be properly summarized in his article. – S.

I've reverted the page fork, and have left some comments on the original's talk page. I think its pretty clear this separate page isn't going to work out. -- Netoholic @ 07:08, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Categories
Article categories have been added to this redirect per WP:INCOMPATIBLE, because "Stefan Molyneux" would look out of place in categories for titles of podcasts, YouTube channels, websites, etc. — INCOMPATIBLE would also apply. --Netoholic @ 17:31, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
