The result was   delete. This article was nominated unduly soon after creation, but after a week still gives no indication of notability, and the only defence amounts to WP:ILIKEIT. JohnCD (talk) 18:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

GLOBAL MIX

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Would like to get opinions on this one. Does not seem very notable. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 07:54, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Holy cow, article AfD'ed three minutes after creation. At it's present stage, I would say it's un uncontroversial PROD candidate, but maybe the article creator has some more in mind, and some additional sources up his sleeve in his second edit.  Per developments at WP:NEWT I would give the editor some more time before PROD.  This is premature. Power.corrupts (talk) 11:10, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:GLOBAL MIX:

The Issue of Notability As AFD Reason For the "Global Mix" Page

Music radio programs world-wide are invariably compartmentalized, i.e., they tend to cover one narrow genre or sub-genre of music. For example, they may specialize in straightahead jazz, classic rock, etc. Even those shows that profess eclecticism usually air the various sub-genres of a particular genre or related cluster of genres only (classic rock, alternative, punk, techno, world music as pop music of various countries, etc). What I consider notable about Global Mix, after having followed it for some twenty years on the air and on the Net, is the fact that it approaches music in its totality - as a compendium of every imaginable style within a single show, with a special emphasis on the quality of the selections. I have lived and traveled extensively both in America and around the world, I have listened to local radio and scoured hundreds of Internet stations, and I have yet to find the format so musically diverse as that of Global Mix. This radio program is notable because of its uniqueness in an important field of mass media, its high standards for music material inclusion, and its Internet-enabled potential for world-wide accessibility.

 * That sounds like an informed opinion; however, on wikipedia, notability is established by referencing reliable sources. Please read WP:RS. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 05:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - It's a 3 hour slot on a student radio station. Or redirect to Eclecticism in music. - TB (talk) 15:58, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. The comment regarding notability on Talk:GLOBAL MIX is merely someone's personal preference or liking of this program. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 20:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
