WEFUNK Radio

This University radio station weekly program is not notable. Gorrad (talk) 20:48, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has been expanded significantly since it was nominated, with sources added, and I think notability is now established. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:21, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * KEEP This deletion was already discussed when the article was created. As you can see, it still exists. While unknown to most humans, the show has been on air continuously for over 15 years. It continues even if both DJs have finished their studies. They also both tour worldwide yearly to represent the show. It is also the web (if not the worlds) most well known broadcast radio show concentrated on Hiphop and funk. 12000 people have joined the Facebook group.

 * That may all be true, but without reliable sources attesting to the show's notability, it doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Smerge to CKUT. Covered with an interview in the Montreal Mirror, and covered in the McGill Student paper.  This does not establish notability, but it does make for a good case that some selected material could be merged into the CKUT article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:55, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

 * KEEP IT* I am a reliable enough source. I read, and edit, Wikipedia daily. I am the creator of the WeFunk Playlist Project, as mentioned in the article (not by me, but its in there). As Irishgeek stated, this is a major piece of internet radio history. Not just some semester-long college radio project. It should stand as its own article. Certainly you could find better candidates than this page for deletion. Haxwell (talk) 20:14, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - Stating you are a reliable sources doesn't make you one. Providing actual reliable sources per policy would be a good way to keep this as a stand-alone article -- Whpq (talk) 21:22, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Two reliable sources attesting to the show's notability added. Another link added to show archives. Are we done here? Haxwell (talk) 02:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. This long-running radio show has received a nation-wide award and received recognition in major print publications. It is also important for its involvement in early internet radio and podcasting. Since the delete nom, the page has been updated with reliable sources to highlight the show's notability. --65.95.15.184 (talk) 20:14, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
 * International, even. Irishgeek (talk) 05:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I felt free to remove the deletion notice as this issue seems resolved. Irishgeek (talk) 05:18, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Please don't remove the notice yourself. It will be removed by the administrator who closes this AfD discussion. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:32, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
