PEGASYS-TV

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local public access tv station that does not pass WP:GNG. I cannot find any independent reliable source coverage, the article is currently sourced to the station's website. Rusf10 (talk) 23:55, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep I found independent coverage. Operate three channel. Has been around for decades. Clearly notable. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * One article in the local town newspaper? There needs to be multiple sources to pass WP:GNG and those sources would hold much more weight if they were regional or national.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:38, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * From the guideline: "Most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes." This channel broadcasts original programming on three stations. The guideline also notes importance to regional market which is well established here with substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I believe you are referring to WP:BROADCAST which also says "Public access cable stations are not presumed notable unless they serve a major city or a large regional area. For example, a statewide public access channel, or a channel for all of New York City could be presumed notable. A "governmental access" feed that runs a text generator of community events plus city council meetings for a population of 50,000 is not generally presumed notable, but can be conferred notability by meeting the standards set forth in WP:CORP." Since Enid is not a major city, this would fail the guideline. The portion you quoted refers to over-the-air broadcast stations, not public access cable stations.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The station broadcasts multpile channels and while one is a bulletin board the others ibclude orgigibal programming. Channels with original programming are presumed to be notable. That's what the gyideline says. If you want it modified you should take it up there. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:06, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * First of all its not a guideline its an explanatory supplement that says "This page is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community." Second, it clearly is referring to broadcast stations, its say "The vast majority of over-the-air television stations serve a large regional market, often covering millions of households. The regulatory authorities, such as the FCC in the United States, grant each station a monopoly on a substantial portion of radio spectrum to carry their programming, and most metro areas only have a dozen or so television channels. In turn, the TV stations must devote certain hours to public affairs and educational programming, and grant equal time to political candidates. Because of the public interest served, most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes." (emphasis mine). This falls under cable television which I quoted above.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:11, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
