AfD nomination of The Atheist Experience
I have nominated The Atheist Experience, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/The Atheist Experience. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

How am I supposed to get a page started if you guys continually delete it for this "notability"

By what measure is that? I can find tons of radio shows, podcasts, non-profit organizations, and similar which all have entries.

This is not spam. I spent hours last night trying to conform to what your other mods were editing to clean up.. and ya'll delete everything. I don't get it.

 * Please refer to the guidelines for notability. Basically, if your cable access show has been the subject of multiple significant third-party coverage (something beyond a local interest newspaper), then it would meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.  If you'll take a close look at the article you provided as an example, that particular podcast is notable for 1) having had many major nationally notable guests and 2) having received significant coverage in reliable third-party sources.  Also, as this article has been submitted for a deletion, this discussion should properly be held on the page's AfD page.  With that in mind, I will transcribe this discussion to that page.

Sources for ACA
Eileen Flynn, "Atheist political survey asked interesting questions. Too bad most candidates are too afraid to answer them.", Austin American-Statesman, October 30, 2008. (Flynn is the Religion writer for the paper.)

Gary Martin, "Austin atheists join faith-based fray", San Antonio Express-News, Mar 24, 2001. (This is subscription-only, but appears to be a full article about the ACA from 2001: "Austin atheists say they want to participate in President Bush's faith-based initiatives. It's not that they believe the Bush administration, or the federal government, should be involved in funding programs delivered by religious organizations. They don't. "But as long as they are violating their oath of office, they should at least treat everybody equally," said Howard Thompson, 58 ... The Atheist Community of Austin, a group of about 85 members who meet Sundays at a bagel shop to discuss their nonbeliefs in a nonthreatening atmosphere, ...")

Ross E. Milloy, "Plan for Memorial to Civil War Group Splits Texas Town Anew", New York Times, February 27, 2000. (Dispute about an ACA memorial).

Scott Stroud, "Fair elections are important, but GOP can't blame ACORN", San Antonio Express-News, October 18, 2008. (Mentions the recent survey)

ACA should be just about wikipedia-notable with these. There are also plenty of sources for ACA's non-religious 9/11 memorials and lecture series, which can be used for verifiability if/when mentioning these. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.44.28.182 (talk) 05:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
