Non-notable

Hello. I'm afraid that we cannot accept an article about GimpFM. As an internet radio station, it is completely non-notable. Please refrain from adding references to it from other articles. The JPS^{talk to me} 17:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• I agree that notability has not yet been established: Notability_is_not_subjective. Of course, as soon it is established, it is generally permanent. Your station may be notable enough for inclusion in articles about internet radio stations on a regional or type-of-music basis. --Lexein 14:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion

1. Try to keep your main article about GimpFM on your User page. This is your Talk page, where discussions (and disputes!) are supposed to happen about articles you work on, and about you as a User.
2. Try to keep disputes right here, on article Talk pages and user Talk pages. That's the convention.
3. Add a {{talkheader}} header to this page to establish a clear policy on what you do and don't like on your Talk page.
4. On your User page, change the third-person to first-person throughout.
5. Please don't take the non-article-notability of your project personally. There are a bunch of policies about What Wikipedia Is and What Wikipedia Isn't.
6. Please contribute to WP on articles with subjects you're familiar with.
7. Trust the good faith nature of the majority of WP editors to weed out ALL the non-notables, in time. And it does take time. --Lexein 16:22, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Gimpfm

A tag has been placed on User:Gimpfm, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:User:Gimpfm|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 00:51, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

GimpFM - Be part of the radio revolution!

History & About:

GimpFM Started out as a simple podcasted show that was made every Friday by Phil & Bob. Phil & Bob started GimpFM because there wasn't enough variety on TV or radio, all the shows seemed to be aimed at either older people of children, so they went out and tried to start something different.

The first shows were intended to be only 30minutes long but after a couple of shows, they found that they could happily do about an hours worth of show. The podcasts had a variety of sketches, music and rants & raves about things which annoyed them the most or what seemed strange to them.

Soon, they got a small but dedicated fan base, so they decided to produce some games to play, their first created was the 'CharverScript' then, they went on to make the STD Game ^(PDF).

Once they realized they had some dedicated fans, they bought the domain name, www.gimpfm.co.uk.

They were now on to their third series of podcasts and they had by now got a blog and made more games and other downloads. They started to want to do bigger and better things but were limited by the fact that they were only making a podcast, so they took a short break from making the podcast and looked into doing other ideas.

They tried different ideas but the one that won was to go 100% live. So after much research and problems, they bought an internet radio streaming package and on 29th November 2006, they went live and did the first 100% live GimpShow on Friday 8th December 2005, every show is recorded and then turned into a podcast which can be downloaded from their Website.
Since then, they have produced more shows and constructed a structured GimpShow.
They have recently let some of their sketches they have performed on-air to be downloaded [HERE]

In January 2007 they started a MySpace page, which has allowed them to communicate with a different audience. GimpFM has made a couple of deals with new 'up and coming' bands in Febuary of 2007, They made a deal with Papa Satch and Vince Falzone to play their songs on-air.
