List of Internet stations

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The potential scope of the list virtually infinite. No user would like to browse through every radio station in the world that has a web stream. Many different classifications are used inconsistently - topical, geographical, technological, ownership. Some categories (Category:Internet radio, Category:Music websites; There is room for extensive sub-categorization BTW, e.g. by genre, by country.) are in place for cataloging some of this realm. Attracts spammers. If such a list is kept, I think it should contain only web-only stations for maintenance reasons. trespassers william (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - As I read it, WP:LIST supports this kind of thing. There's a clearly defined criteria for whether things belong on the list, it's a potentially useful way to sort information, and neither redundancy nor potential size are barriers to doing this kind of thing.  I'm still getting my head around that policy though so I'm open to argument on why I'm wrong. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Trim, define a scope and minimum criteria for inclusion The scope and maintenance of this list seem to be at issue and those are not deletion reasons. The solution to maintenance and spam is to remove all entries that do not have existing articles on Wikipedia, and/or set other minimum criteria for future inclusion.

 * Delete Category:Internet radio already serves this purpose. &spades; B.s.n.   &hearts; R.N. contribs 10:57, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, adds value over the category. I agree with DustFormsWords' reading of WP:LIST. Nerfari (talk) 11:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as a useful resource that does not violate WP:LIST. --Tris2000 (talk) 14:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
