Speedy deletion nomination of Radio boys and the short wave mystery
A tag has been placed on Radio boys and the short wave mystery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --moreno oso (talk) 04:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Radio boys and the short wave mystery. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. --moreno oso (talk) 05:04, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Radio boys and the short wave mystery


The article Radio boys and the short wave mystery has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Campus radio show with no evidence of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:53, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Radio boys and the short wave mystery
As the seven days allowed by the PROD procedure were up, I deleted this article; but then I saw on the talk page that you had contested the PROD, and as they are intended only for uncontested deletions, I have restored it.

However it may still be nominated under a different procedure, WP:Articles for deletion, which involves a discussion, and I have to tell you that I think there is very little chance it would survive that, because to meet Wikipedia's notability criterion you would need to show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Facebook and the like do not count as reliable sources.

I think your suggestion of a merge to CJSW is the best way to save something, and as you are the sole author, why don't you do that - add a short paragraph about it to that article. When you have done that, it would save us some trouble if you would mark this for deletion by putting  at the top (two curly brackets each side) which means "author requests deletion".
