The Atheist Experience

 * ( [ delete] ) %u2013 (View AfD) (View log)

Article is on the verge of spam and is about a non-notable local cable access program. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:56, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. The main contributor has also done similar articles with Non-Prophets Radio and Atheist Community of Austin. Should those be AFDed as well?--CyberGhostface (talk) 13:33, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Both articles have been tagged for speedy deletion, with no contention from the author, so they will likely be gone soon. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:41, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

The following conversation occurred on the author's talk page, and has been transcribed here as part of the AfD discussion:

How am I supposed to get a page started if you guys continually delete it for this "notability"

By what measure is that? I can find tons of radio shows, podcasts, non-profit organizations, and similar which all have entries.

This is not spam. I spent hours last night trying to conform to what your other mods were editing to clean up.. and ya'll delete everything. I don't get it.

 * Please refer to the guidelines for notability. Basically, if your cable access show has been the subject of multiple significant third-party coverage (something beyond a local interest newspaper), then it would meet the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.  If you'll take a close look at the article you provided as an example, that particular podcast is notable for 1) having had many major nationally notable guests and 2) having received significant coverage in reliable third-party sources.  Also, as this article has been submitted for a deletion, this discussion should properly be held on the page's AfD page.  With that in mind, I will transcribe this discussion to that page.
