Capital Radio (pirate)

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

An article from 2006 with only one source - a radio interview from 2003. There are no independent, third-party reliable sources cited. A WP:BEFORE search is complicated because there is a commercial radio outlet with the same name which came later. There is a body of work on the general subject of pirate radio in Europe in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but I could not find reliable sources for this particular station. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG and lacks WP:SIGCOV, Geoff &#124; Who, me? 23:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete: All kinds of hits for pirate radio all over the world, Japan, Australia, the UK, that come up with this search, but nothing about this particular incarnation of pirate radio. Oaktree b (talk) 23:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Oaktree, did you look in Delpher and Google Books? gidonb (talk) 08:43, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: Should note that as of the time I am writing this, the article appears to have zero sources. —Mjks28 (talk) 01:27, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * How would that be relevant to notability? gidonb (talk) 12:36, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep as meets WP:GNG with sources added to article. Insufficient WP:BEFORE. Yes, Dutch newspaper archives are particularly difficult to access online without going to a physical library (preferably in the Netherlands), but online sources like this and this are accessible via Google (and if you look closely at some of the websites covering the King David, they include photographs of old newspaper clippings as well). Pinging for reconsideration. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:07, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Also found a whole section dedicated to Capital Radio on board the King David in this book about pirate radio. There is enough coming up via Internet Archive, such that going through it will take more time than I have right now. This was a happy discovery so in the end, no harm done and the article can keep improving. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep There are three-and-a-bit pages about this in the 2009 2nd edition of Pop Went The Pirates (the link above is the 1st edition), and as above there are also Dutch sources. Adam Sampson (talk) 09:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep. An abundance of sources on Delpher and Google Books. Easy pass of WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Gigantic failure of WP:BEFORE and defiance of WP:NEXIST. Weird that this would ever be nominated for deletion. WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP! gidonb (talk) 09:44, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
