Blue Water Weather Telephone Service

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article on a local call-in weather service operated by a law firm does not appear to satisfy WP:N. A routine Google search yields little independent/significant coverage. The only apparent coverage is a single brief article from the local newspaper, the Port Huron Times Herald, providing little independent detail other than that the service exists (aside from reiterating information from the law firm itself). The WP article asserts that this service is a continuation of a phone service run by radio station WSAQ, but thus far in searching for independent sourcing I have not been able to verify this connection, and neither the current service nor the former WSAQ phone service appear to have received significant coverage.

 * Delete Every city with a radio station or television station used to have a weatherline like this; we simply don't have many of them left due to the Internet making it easy to find a forecast, and because that radio/TV staff is down to three people who don't have any time to record a weather forecast, or it's been outsourced long ago to a company out of the region. There's nothing outstanding about this weatherline compared to many that are just now memories.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete: Per Nom. The article fails any form of Notability (organizations and companies) and appears to be advertisement. Could not find any significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. Only found two primary sources, bluewater weather and a facebook page.  When the name of a living person is used the article is considered BLP related. According to the source the unsourced two sentence paragraph: "In 2016, the firm re-released the service as the new Blue Water Weather Telephone Service as a community service. The firm sells no advertisement on the service and our main sponsor, The Heisler Law Group, was named one of the best of the best attorneys in the Blue Water Area and does not profit directly from providing the weather telephone service to the community. bluewaterweather.net states: Our main sponsor, The Heisler Law Group, was named one of the best of the best attorneys in the Blue Water Area.  Thank you for your support of our sponsor. To become a sponsor, call 810.985.2700 and follow the prompts. The Heisler Law Group has a banner in the center of the page, and under that banner, "Sponsor". I am not implying the service isn't/wasn't a good community thing. It seems that the person that wrote the above either 1)- looked at different sites than I did, or 2)- has a loose understanding of the words "profit directly". When comparing the article to the couple of sources it could be interpreted that there might be some sort of ruse or other wily subterfuge. There might be a reason why the enterprise was not listed as a non-profit. The sponsorship link states: "We have up to six fifteen rotating spots available. Each caller hears the fifteen second spot just before the day is announced." At any rate, the "firm" does derive benefit from the telephone service and vice versa.  --  Otr500 (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
