The result of the debate was '''No Consensus. (note the sockpuppets/meatpuppets would make it keep if they counted, but no consensus and keep are the same thing anyway!)'''. Redwolf24 (talk) 02:38, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

God's Learning Channel
Delete as advertisement/weblink. There's some info about the founding of the channel, and there's some chance that it's notable in the SW United States, so it's not quite speediable (IMHO). FreplySpang (talk) 23:46, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * comment Isn't this a copyvio from http://www.ptcbglc.com/about.htm? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:12, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * I think the talk page and history explain why FreplySpang removed the copyvio tag and replaced it with a VfD. Cursive 00:16, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm disinclined to believe the anon, and we run the risk (if the article is voted "keep") of having our article be a derivative work of a copyvio.  I'm going to replace the content with an original stub.  Then voters where can decide if the network is notable (it's hard to tell, frankly). -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 00:27, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I was figuring on pursuing the copyright issue if the article got kept but your approach is also completely valid. FreplySpang (talk) 01:21, August 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete It's an ad. Not sure of notability but it's definatly an ad. Cursive 00:16, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete ad for sure, and nn with an Alexa traffic rank of about 1,300,000th, and the only Google hit being their domain name. -Splash 00:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (the rewritten, non-ad version). On reviewing some of our other broadcast related articles (for no particular reason I looked at some of the articles in Category:Radio stations in Texas) and the GLC service doesn't seem to be less notable than most of them (rather more, infact). -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 16:41, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, TV stations are usually notable and I quite like the re-written stub. I wanted to vote delete so much just so I could say "oh, Lord, smite this article...", but, alas, duty prevails. Lord Bob 20:28, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral (changed vote from above) Thanks for the rewrite & research, Finlay, and thanks to User:TxGeekGirl for not turning it back into an ad. FreplySpang (talk) 20:37, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep the reworked version. GLC is actually a somewhat notable religious TV network, and is referenced (and linked to) on several other of wiki's broadcasting pages. --Firsfron 23:09, 22 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep I represent GLC. We wish for Wikipedia to allow our article to stay. The piece that was copied from our site was done with GLC having full knowledge of this. Please allow GLC to remain listed here. Thank You: Matt Montgomery. matt@ptcbglc.com
