PAC 14

Local community access tv station. Does not pass WP:GNG. The article is mostly sourced to the station's own website and local school district website. The only independent coverage that exists is [1], which is not enough to pass GNG. Rusf10 (talk) 18:13, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If consensus is towards removal, this should redirect to Wicomico County, Maryland as a channel mainly put together by the County or the school district article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 03:55, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete not notable. Almost all the sources are from their website. Elmmapleoakpine (talk) 19:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep New information and sources added to the article since nomination. Should not merge into Wicomico County, as it is one of the three community partners, while the school board is one of the many users of services. Also, since all of the content the station produces is original and serves a public interest, shouldn't notability be presumed per WP:BROADCAST? David (talk) 17:05, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Daveplot:While WP:BROADCAST technically is not a guideline, I think it provides some good information. The relevant part would be "Cable television - Generally, national or regional cable channels are presumed notable. Public access cable stations are not presumed notable unless they serve a major city or a large regional area. For example, a statewide public access channel, or a channel for all of New York City could be presumed notable. A "governmental access" feed that runs a text generator of community events plus city council meetings for a population of 50,000 is not generally presumed notable, but can be conferred notability by meeting the standards set forth in WP:CORP." (emphasis mine). So if we go by that, no this is not a notable network as it would not pass WP:CORP--Rusf10 (talk) 17:21, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Strong Delete: Non-notable. A handful of procedural sources from the local government authorising the existence of the channel does not make it notable. Google search for News on the channel found nothing. Macktheknifeau (talk) 14:57, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
