...here are a few to get you started. [1] [2] [3] Not quite enough for notability but certainly better than nothing and should go a long way towards verifiability. - Dravecky (talk) 01:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Articles about a campus radio station in the campus newspaper are nice to add to the article but I dont think they go very far towards establishing notability. The other references that mention the station that I'm finding are about individuals who've worked there not the station itself.--Rtphokie (talk) 17:46, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

References would be good, but there are other things worth noting

edit

Community / student radio stations are often documented by oral / institutional histories, not by news outlets. There are more than 1000 people who were on-air DJs at WERW during the past 22 years. The station broadcasts to a community of about 20,000 students, employees, and area residents. A level of participation and potential and audience far larger than countless other organizations documented on Wikipedia.

And just for clarification, if rtphokie had bothered to read the entire article, he or she might have noted that the station is now broadcasting using a conventional transmitter. Radioh (talk) 17:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

I did read the article, let's keep it civil, shall we? Wikipedia guidelines say "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be a suitable article topic". Unfortunately there isn't an exemption for subjects we are concerned that information may be lost by removing the article (see WP:LOSE). Broadcasting via a conventional transmitter doesn't gaurentee notability. An FCC license does though, and I've not found any evidence of that either in the FCC database or any news seartches. Notability has got to be established through reliable 3rd party sources, which there are currently none of. If you know of some good sources, please add them. You are correct that institutional histories need to be maintained but not via wikipedia, it should be done on the station's webpage (which is apparently down now).--Rtphokie (talk) 17:52, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Rtphokie, civil? LOL. If you're going to make statements about why something should be taken down, they should at least be accurate. Just pointing that out. If your skin has thickened up, feel free to head on over to the disputes page to see some other points about citations that are relevant. Thanks. Radioh (talk) 18:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
