Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material
Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:


 * 1) WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
 * 2) As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
 * 3) WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
 * 4) Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 01:38, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

10:00 News
WBTV's 10 PM newscast actually originated on WJZY in 1994, around the same time WSOC began producing one for WCCB. It moved to WTVI some time in the late '90's and then back to WJZY. So the July 1 move back from WMYT means this is actually the third separate time it's aired on WJZY, and it's aired on three different stations. 71.75.57.32 (talk) 20:40, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

"Flagship station"
A "flagship station" is (1) the station where a network originates; (2) a station in the city where a broadcast group's headquarters is located; or (3) the largest-market station a company owns. One station (like the New York City stations) may be all three, but there's only one per company (and it's really not a big deal except when it comes to a network). Charlotte is Raycom's largest market and the headquarters of their sports syndication division, but the corporate HQ is in Montgomery. WBTV and WSFA can't both be "flagship stations." 71.75.58.216 (talk) 22:46, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Verifiability and notability
A variety of IP addresses - same writing style, so I assume it's the same person - keeps editing this and some other stations' WP pages with departing personnel information that has not yet been made public, along with comments like "Last Day Is July 16th". Even if you happen to work at the station and you know this is going to happen, if it's not verifiable, it can't go here. In this case, the WBTV Website biographies of on-air personnel would be the source. Mark Washburn's column in the Saturday Charlotte Observer also works as a source, but he usually doesn't publish personnel moves until after the fact. When she's gone, she's gone. Until then, she still works there. The date of her upcoming departure is neither notable nor verifiable. Furthermore, the consensus (I disagree with it, but so it goes) is that the "former personnel" listing is limited to people who either are notable enough to have their own WP articles, or whose notability can be independently established. It's not supposed to be an exhaustive list of everyone who ever worked there, and not everyone who leaves the station goes on that list. 166.205.67.231 (talk) 21:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
