Delete While I agree with M1ss1ontomars2k4 that it doesn't look like an ad, it does not make any claim of notability and should be deleted for that reason. (also the article could use a bit of a rewrite if it isn't deleted) Monty84518:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say I still say DELETE. This is not to be taken as a negative to the company or the individual writing the article. However, there is a misconception that Wikipedia can and should be used as a directory (or as we call it State side: Yellow Pages) or a listing of companies. Sometimes we forget that the Wikipedia project is supposedly an encyclopedia providing a research tool for individuals to explore “Note” worthy items that are not widely known outside there small area or are widely known, but the individual would like additional information. All-in-all, I believe the article will be deleted. However, as I stated earlier, please do not take this as a derogatory statement to you as the author or the company you are writing about. It is just a state of affairs that I believe is not a good fit for Wikipedia at this time.[[ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shoessss (talk • contribs) 19:45, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
While the parent company may be notable, for the station to warrant an article of its own it must be notable on its own. Monty84519:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, which is why mine was a Comment rather than a Keep. I don't know a lot about UK radio, but I'd be curious to discover whether any or all of the Magic Radio stations should be considered notable. JavaTenor20:00, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Relevant in the context of parent company and sister broadcasts. Notability should also be improved as above. Mystache23:12, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
'Comment In general, perhaps most networked radio stations could be merged into the parent articles. The sections could still be linked from the geographically-organized templates. DGG03:33, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a professional station with an Ofcom license. Notability is plainly established. The article has no inline references, but there are external links, which are good enough for a young article to prove notability. The JPStalk to me12:51, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep it isnt an ad. The station has an interesting history and is reffered to in other links. Obviously Im new to Wiki and am liable to learn through my mistakes, i will attempt to improve the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Video killed the radiostar (talk • contribs).
