Speedy deletion of WNMP edit

 

A tag has been placed on WNMP requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

February 2008 edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, WNMP. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Thank you.

Hi Jons63 With respect, I WROTE the original WNMP article, and am still in the process of adding details. WHY would I (original author) put my new stuff on the "talk page?" There are NO other contributors to the article. Thanks.

You placed discussion about the article, specifically, reasons why the article should not be deleted in the main article. Those comments did not belong in the article, they belong on the talk page associated with the article. I hope this clears things up. Jons63 (talk) 23:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Feb 14, 2008 Yes, well I really am quite fed up with the "rules" and no direct communication, here. There were edits (not by me) that were quite incorrect, like linking WRIN to "the Rural Radio Network" - NOT the RRN WRIN was a mewmber of, yet wanting more sources on items that are NOT written about, anywhere.

A few of the people who "edit" articles here are clueless- except of course for using their authority. If "experts" are not welcome, then phooey on it all.

WCRW and WEDC were "historic" places because they "shared time." Bullfish waants to bew a bully but doesnb't understand the significane of these "pioneer HISPANIC" as wel as pioneer "shared time stations."

There are NO existing written sources, except old Broadcasting yearbooks and the photo albums that existed at the stations, O...and ME!

Read the article about WIBN, another rdio station with which I am familiar. WHERE are the references there? The writing there looks like a 4th grader did it. Where are the citations there?

I mean NO disrespect here. This is just frustrating, as I have lots of very pertinent info, but it seems "unappreciated." I'm 58 and have been in radio since I was 14. Your actions here make ME feel disrespected.

Note also that the entries authored by 69.129.51.87 (talk) are MINE. I forgot to log in. Thanks.

I am sorry if I have done something to make you feel disrespected. I am not sure what that was, my only interactions with you or any of the articles you listed was to try to explain why the discussion about why the WNMP article should not be deleted should be on the talk page and not on the article page.
If you want to discuss a specific article, the best place to go is the talk page about that article. Other editors will watch the talk page to see what suggestions are brought up and try to work together to make the article better.
If you have a concern about articles about radio stations in general, you might try looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Radio_Stations. This is the project page for radio stations and general requirements would be found there.
If you have a concern with a specific editor that is not related to a specific article, then go to their talk page and raise the issue there, like you did to bring me here.
Once again I am sorry for making you feel disrespected, if I can be of any assistance let me know, you can do it here on your talk page or on my talk page. I will watch yours for a while in case you want to respond here. Jons63 (talk) 14:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
