Speedy deletion of WWCG-LP
A tag has been placed on WWCG-LP requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Z i g g y  S a w  d u s t  19:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

More on WWCG-LP
I see from the referenced blog that you are the owner of this station. Congratulations on your launch! I hope it does well for you.

The main criterion that must be met for an article to be included in Wikipedia is notability. Because an encyclopedia such as Wikipedia is a tertiary source, it mainly relies on secondary sources for its information. That is to say, a topic must receive coverage by multiple independent, reliable sources in order to establish notability. Blogs are excluded, as they are not reliable; the contents do not undergo an editorial process prior to publication. Press releases are also excluded, as they are not independent. It doesn't take much for a company to put out news about itself, but to be truly notable, other media agents must be covering it. Understand that notability is not the same as importance. Your station may be serving several hundred thousand viewers, making it important, but if others are not writing about it, it is not notable. That is why the article is up for deletion.

Another key tenet of Wikipedia is maintaining a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is intended as a reference, not an advertising outlet, either for or against an entity. So far, the article has done a very good job of neutrality. I encourage you to continue contributing in such a manner. Now that may be hard, considering your role with the station, and that's understandable. Heaven forbid, but should there be any negative press about your station, I hope you will not be upset if it is included in the article.

The blogger first noticed your station on March 24 2008. When did you actually go to air? Also, if you have any independent media coverage of your station, please let it be known, as that contributes to notability. dhett (talk • contribs) 03:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
