East Coast FM Scotland

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable community radio from Scotland, with no third party reliable sources covering the topic. Not to be confused with East Coast FM fro Ireland. Hahc21 [ TALK ] [ CONTRIBS  ] 02:30, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Article is factually incorrect. Fiona O'Donnell is not listed on the website schedule as a presenter and station is listed as a charity but info box also states the station is owned by Ian Robertson?--Crepusculous (talk) 22:09, 31 May 2012 (UTC) — Crepusculous (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Question If I understand rightly, licensed broadcasters in the USA are always notable. Are things different for UK broadcasters?  Nyttend (talk) 04:12, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Station should probably have an entry but this is weak and designed only to promote the station - it was written by the afternoon show presenter. Current content should be removed and replaced with information that is objective and accurate. Falsely listing a local MSP as a presenter is simply telling lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crepusculous (talk • contribs) 16:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)  — Crepusculous (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Delete without prejudice to recreation Media come with some ipso facto notability, and our existence depends on publications.  However, looking at this newsletter shows that this is a local organization whose only newsletter didn't have a date.  They have "submitted their application for a full Community Radio Licence to the regulator, OFCOM", and are waiting to "lear"  [sic] from the regulator.  The articles from the Scotsman are generally devoid of metrics, focusing on maybes and could bes, although 1.8 million web listeners worldwide and a staff of 60 volunteers is asserted.  Notability requires that attention exist "over a period of time" and in this case, the attention is focused on what this outfit might be, not what they are.  Wikipedia does not exist to promote wannabes, although I can see putting this article in the incubator until the OFCOM news is out.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
