Talk Media News

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to verify or sustian article. Fails Wikipedia's general notability guidelines and WP:NORG. I find lots of stuff by them but nothing about them. Most of the claims of significance are now marked as failing verification. This is a strategy often used by undisclosed paid promotional editors to get their articles to 'stick'.

 * Delete. A radio programming service doesn't get a Wikipedia article the moment it becomes possible to nominally verify that it exists; it gets an article when it's substantively the subject of media coverage about it. But of the three sources here, one is the founder's own primary source biography on the website of her principal employer, one is a glancing namecheck of the service's existence in a press release about Lord Dampnut's meeting itinerary for January 25, and the third is a glancing namecheck of the service's existence in the captions to a couple of soundbites in a mass survey of the entire White House press corps — so the two sources that are independent aren't substantive, and I'm not finding anything on a Google News search that supports notability more solidly.

 * Note. Per the HighBeam search there are numerous references to the company providing sole radio coverage of the US President roughly every 10 days, which is consistent with the size of the radio contingent of the White House press corps. By its very nature, however, pool coverage is circulated internally among outlets covering the president and audio and notes gathered by the pool are often used by newsrooms without attribution. In the White House briefing room, the company now occupies the back-row left seat of Talk Radio News Service, which no longer operates a website. Both firms were founded by Ellen Ratner and appear to have similar business models. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercuryblued (talk • contribs) 22:03, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
