Access Humboldt

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local public access channel run by a high school. Does not meet WP:GNG Rusf10 (talk) 23:18, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * redirect to Humboldt County, California where it is mentioned. ~ GB fan 23:34, 15 July 2018 (UTC) remove for now.  ~ GB fan 11:46, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Humboldt County, California. No independent notability.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:46, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - likely meets WP:BROADCAST - most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes and Student media, such as over-the-air college radio stations and student newspapers, are not presumed non-notable just because they primarily serve a university or college student population"  - there is an opportunity to improve the article further.

 * That is for over-the-air stations. For WP:BROADCAST says " Public access cable stations are not presumed notable unless they serve a major city or a large regional area."--Rusf10 (talk) 15:42, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a licensed FM radio station, and is therefore notable. The content is verifiable and violates no policies. The fact that it also distributes content in other formats is irrelevant. The fact that a radio station in an isolated rural community uses facilities at the local high school is also irrelevant. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:11, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The radio station was just added to the article. It may be notable enough to have its own article, but that's not what this article is about.--Rusf10 (talk) 07:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The article started as the cable station, it is now about a broader subject.Flat Out (talk) 09:26, 17 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep per nom (yes nom) and Cullen328. Even by the nom's own quote from WP:BROADCAST this passes that guideline as the 4,052 square mile Humboldt County is a very large regional area.--Oakshade (talk) 05:53, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Not so fast, it doesn't serve the entire county, only select towns in that county. We're talking about maybe 50,000 people, land area has nothing to do with it. That's not the same as a public access station in a large city.--Rusf10 (talk) 07:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually thes television and radio stations do serve the entire county (and the signal probably bleeds into nearby Del Norte County) as that is their mission. There is no population requirement in WP:BROADCAST, just that it serves "a major city or a large regional area" and this is a large regional area also serving many isolated communities of the region. --Oakshade (talk) 15:32, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Wrong, its a low-powered radio station so the signal does not travel far at all. To remove any doubt about this, here is a map of its coverage area --Rusf10 (talk) 16:42, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Well done on the signal research, but the analogue signal is actually more than that.  But it's not just terrestrial radio, but podcasts and streaming which serves the entire of Humboldt County and much of the Jefferson region. --Oakshade (talk) 18:46, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
