Airplay

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Dictionary definition. Term has unambiguous history and definition. Already on Wiktionary. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 01:48, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete (clear) as per above and redirect to Airplay_(band). Definitions don't belong to WP unless there is something substantial about the word. For example, the article Person would seem to be a definition, but it is not, and that is why it is kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manishearth (talk • contribs)
 * Better yet, why not move the band's article to this title? That'd prevent an unnecessary qualifier. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 04:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I meant.. clear the article (blank it) and redirect or reverse redirect. Manish Earth Talk • Stalk 01:17, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Move delete and move per 10lb hammer Keep per Davecky, this is a different article now. RadioFan (talk) 12:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Is there anywhere to merge this? It seems an important concept, as most music charts use airplay in part to determine the ranking of songs...for example the Hot Country Songs chart. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 19:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per improvements made by Dravecky. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 16:05, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * We could move Airplay (band) to this page and add a link to Airplay via otheruses Manish Earth Talk • Stalk 01:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep as this article describes 'airplay' and its usage far beyond what a simple dictionary definition would provide. Indeed, the Wiktionary entry, in its entirety, is "The amount which a particular song, band or genre gets played on the radio." The article under discussion goes far beyond this simple (and simplistic) dicdef. - Dravecky (talk) 06:28, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I have added a substantial number of references from around the world to this article since it was nominated for discussion, far exceeding the minimum standards for verifiability and notability, and would invite any editor to review the article as it stands now and consider revising their stand on this article. - Dravecky (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Change my vote to Keep. It's ref'd enough thx to dravecky, if only it could be a bit expanded... Manish Earth Talk •  Stalk 12:32, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per the add'l work from Dravecky. Article appears to comply with policy. Well done, that. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep it's not just a word, it's a concept. AbbaIkea2010 (talk) 22:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as now the article is referenced, thank you to Dravecky. Also agree with AbbaIkea2010 in that it is a concept. I had wanted to keep it before, but did not feel justified when it was unreferenced.—Iknow23 (talk) 05:43, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - well-referenced article on a notable concept. Robofish (talk) 03:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
