Lounging Sound page deletion
M'am,

Lounging Sound is an online radio station that has been up and running since 2002. We have over 18,000 visitors per day and are not seeking to advertise on Wikipedia. Rather, we find ourselves a viable source of credited Ambient music (for internet radio) and we have permissions from the labels and artists we play. We are non-profit as well (thus, advertising would really be not what we are seeking to accomplish here). Also, we've only recieved 44 total hits from Wikipedia at all and do not find it a reliable source for advertising. However, again, we do find it important to be informative as a source for online radio in the various genres we play.

We are currently upgrading and redoing our website which will include the biography that we'd posted on Wiki.

Finally, we broadcast at high quality and are considered in the elite of similar radio stations including Soma.fm & Digitally Imported.

Thank you for considering my request to have our entry on Wikipedia republished.

 * Please see Wikipedia's guidelines for web content. Has Lounging Sound been reviewed in any independent publications? Do you have an independent source to support your claim of 18,000 visitors/day? How can your site be that popular if "Lounging Sound" yields only 43 unique Google hits? Please respond. I would like to help you. --Fang Aili talk 20:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
See also Conflict of interest. If you are a representative of Lounging Sound, it's probably better that you don't write about this topic yourself. If the website is notable, someone else will write the article. --Fang Aili talk 20:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
