Lush Radio

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Heres my reason why this is nominated for deletion, does playing twice yearly make this radio station notable? Most of its notability is within the campus and not outside it. Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 13:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge to University of Leicester. - Dravecky (talk) 14:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Dravecky. An RSL station in the UK may not necessarily merit its own article, but it still unequivocally merits a subsection in the article on the university that operates it. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I created this page, and would suggest it is worthy of inclusion. The station does operate on an RSL licence twice a year, but at other times throughout the University of Leicester academtic term it broadcasts continually on an internet webcast. I would also cite other student radio stations, such as those of the University of Warwick (RAW) and Univerity of York, which have their own undisputed Wikipedia pages. These stations operate similar broadcasting timetables and services (RSL) to that of Lush Radio. Further to Dravecky's point - Lush Radio is a media group of the University of Leicester Students' Union - which has oversight of the station. It is not strictly an organ of the University of Leicester as a whole and so merging it with that article may be innacurate. ellcol (talk) 00:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * But that is still calling for a merge, considering it is not notable on its own. Knock-Off Nigel (talk) 11:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Reply I would not call for a merge, since the only article with which Lush Radio could conceivably and accurately be merged with is the University of Leicester Students' Union - which is itself under AfD discussion. I also would reiterate my previous comment that other student radio stations have undisputed Wikipedia articles - could you suggest why this station should be different? Also as a distinct UK radio station which broadcasts both locally (on FM Radio) and potentially internationally on a in internet webcast - should the station not be worth of inclusion? ellcol (talk) 00:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete or merge. Non-notable radio station, no claim to fame. Lucky to avoid . WWGB (talk) 11:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
