Wayne DZ

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

Non-notable radio program on a community radio station. It claims to be the longest running show in sydney, but I can't find anything to that effect in locations other than the article itself. Ironho lds 13:07, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

dear, Ironholds i'm new to creating additions to Wikipedia, and would appreciate some help, as im trying to understand why this post may be open for debate and deletion.. I was under the impression that Wikipedia was created to share information, similarly to the radio program that is being discussed. Not all community shows are "my spaced" and referenced all over the internet, especially underground music radio shows... as you dismissed contacting the station, myself or linked sources of interviews, i cannot comprehend what your code for inclusion is...? let me know what the issue is more clearly please.. so we can ammend this... regards, niepce — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niepce (talk • contribs) 14:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't "dismiss" anything, was I contacted about it? :S. Wikipedia is created to share information yes, but not indiscriminantly; we can't include everything about everything. We have a set of notability guidelines found at WP:NOTABILITY which govern what is and is not a notable page for field X. The general guideline is that if something has two or more independent, notable coverage, it's worthy of inclusion. Taking google hits for "Wayne DZ" as an example (although ghits are not on their own considered a reason for delete/keep) you find the page on the radio stations website about it (from which most of the article is copied) and a load of unrelated myspace, youtube and facebook pages.

dear, Ironholds, thanks for your detailed reply, as i said i am new to placing additions and appreciate the time and comments, i know your doing a good job keeping illegitmate posts out, and i respect that thouroughly, now that i see the rules that dictate your comments, notability clause and Taking google hits etc, but i cant understand how you could dismiss a university run station and what is sydneys longest running underground radio show, with international filmakers, artists and musicians contibuting to it for the last 24 years..?

btw... 2 contributors, Richard Kuipers, Brendan Walls, work for Australian tv stations, and are both documentary film makers, and supporting this program and underground experimental music..

if you want to search them out feel free, and i would also appreciate any help with tidying up the page, as it is new to me. regards, niepce — Preceding unsigned comment added by Niepce (talk • contribs) 16:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Flattery will get you everywhere :P. Again, university-run is not a notability clause. There aren't any specific notability requirements for radio programs, so we have to follow the standard ones. If you look at the article on BBC Radio 1, a station that's been running since 1967, you'll note that even there they don't have articles on every single program regardless of how long they've been running. You might want to include it in the radio stations page instead. <b style="color:#D3D3D3">Ir</b><b style="color:#A9A9A9">on</b><b style="color:#808080">ho</b> <b style="color:#696969">ld</b><b style="color:#000">s</b> 20:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Radio-related deletion discussions. --  Fabrictramp  |  talk to me  00:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No notable coverage outside of the local area, not syndicated to multiple stations, program does not even appear to be a daily-run program. --Winger84 (talk) 04:01, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not finding any coverage for this person. The unique name should make locating it fairly simple. The top hits in a google search on "Wayne DZ" are his website, this Wikipedia article and his facebook page, not a good sign for notability.--Rtphokie (talk) 12:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as nonsense, not notable, lack of sources, etc. You said it Dad (talk) 05:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
