Speedy deletion nomination of Coach K and Joe Show


A tag has been placed on Coach K and Joe Show 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 web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. - MrX 17:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Coach K and Joe Show
Unfortunately, just being an internet radio show isn't sufficient to have an article, as pretty much anyone can set up an internet radio station without any formal vetting procedures that a FM station would have. Even if your show transmitted via FM, it probably still wouldn't be enough for an article. Unless you can prove via reliable sources that the show is, say as significant as Wake up to Wogan, it probably can't have an article, I'm afraid.

If that is the case, why does Dan Dakich have a an article? He was an asst. coach. He has a sports talk show. I guess I am unclear of his significance vs the Coach K and Joe Show. Can you weigh in on this. I can bring numerous other examples.


 * I would assume Dan Dakich has an article because he is a former college sportsman, playing for the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball. However, his article is not a good example to compared to, as it is largely unsourced - for instance, how do you know his date of birth is really August 17, 1962 and he hasn't lied about it to appear younger? Also, notice that the article is about him - his radio show does not have a separate article. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   09:29, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
