Focus FM (Ghana)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about a university campus radio station that lacks the significant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. The sources in the article all fail one or more of "significant, "independent", or "reliable". As of this version of the article the sources are:


 * 1) directory entry which is not significant coverage
 * 2) directory entry which is not significant coverage
 * 3) rawgist.com does not appear to be a reliable source (see other entries from the same site below)
 * 4) rawgist.com - appears to be a press release; compare with the radio stations's about page and so not independent
 * 5) rawgist.com - article about the radio station's journalists winnning awards including John Essien winning an award; the byline for this article is "John Essien" so clearly not independent
 * 6) ghanaweb.com - this is a presss release (see bootm stating "Send your news stories to newswires@ghanaweb.com") and so not independent
 * 7) focusfmknust.wordpress.com - the radio station's blog writing about themselve; clearly not independent
 * 8) rawgist.com - article is a passing mention so not signficant coverage
 * 9) internewsnetwork.com - a press release and an insubstantial one at that
 * 10) todaysprofile.com - The artile title is "Focus FM’s John Essien wins Outstanding Student Journalist at Maiden KNUST Eminence Awards" wiht a byline of "John Essien"; the source analysis writes itself

There is simply no coverage that would estalbish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC) Whpq (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom; the radio station fails WP:ORG and WP:GNG. I nominated this article for deletion but there was no participation.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 13:19, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology: Since it's not notable enough to have a page of its own, it's best to move some of the contents to the university's article. My vote stands. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 01:56, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
