This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Radio. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Radio|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Radio. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This page just consists of a paragraph about the size of the podcasting market in India, and then 2 sentences that read as promotional. This content should be either be removed or merged into the general Podcasting article along with other information comparing the size of the podcasting market globally.

• Delete: Even reading the article, she seems rather routine. Sourcing isn't helpful and I don't find much of anything about her. Oaktree b (talk) 01:16, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I did some extensive research with different combination but the situation is unfortunate but I added one source with basic info about her but looks weak.AppleBoosted (talk) 20:51, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I find almost nothing about her. I also looked for her books and hit zero in WorldCat; I can't even really show that the publisher Avina exists. She also has at least one self-published book. Of the sources that have been found, one is by her and the other is PR for a product (radio show), also by her.

Was already moved to draftspace, and then returned to mainspace after the adding of another source. However, that source may or may be reliable, as per WP:SCHOLARSHIP. The original source isn't truly about the station, but rather about the process of awarding the license to the station. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to show it meets WP:GNG.

Fails WP:NLIST as sources do not talk about the stations as a whole. Most of the stations do not have Wikipedia pages and some that do should be sent to AfD as well (including some that have no sources at all). CNMall41 (talk) 07:19, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Radio, Television, Companies, Lists, and Philippines. CNMall41 (talk) 07:20, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom + WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Possibly Merge summary/overview (not yet written) into TV5 Network Inc. Jdcooper (talk) 22:57, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The TV5 Network Inc. does not provide any listing TV stations on their annual reports. Only on the NTC TV stations as of December 2024. Vineyard93 (talk) 02:23, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Does the NTC list count as reliable? RandomMe98 (talk) 09:34, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The National Telecommunications Commission is the authority in the Philippines when it comes to TV and radio stations (among other things). Now, if their publications qualify for WP:RS that depends... Howard the Duck (talk) 21:51, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Wikipedia requires reliable sources. IP range blocked for tiresome pinging. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 13:20, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ohnoitsjamie: it's the same compulsive over-tagger we were discussing recently. Jdcooper (talk) 14:19, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• What is tough about this list is that we have to deal with infrequent NTC list updates exfiltrated through Freedom of Information Act requests. They can confirm existence at least. And then we have many many stations where there is insufficient material to pass GNG because of poor source availability, even sometimes when a station has been on for decades. This is a useful redirect target at AfD, and while I understand if people have qualms over sourcing, this page resolves lots of thorny problems.

• Comment Delete, Redirect and Merger into TV5 Network. Trishie042512 (talk) 01:11, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

TV5 (formerly ABC-5) is the only major television network and the sole free-to-air television network in the Philippines that are possibly Delete and/or Redirect, and Merge summary/overview into TV5 Network as most of the stations does not have Wikipedia pages and even the sources do not talk the TV stations as a whole that WP:NLIST fails, per CNMall41. Since 2016, resulting in all stations have a full-power relay/translator of DWET after 3 decades of duplicative. Only on the National Telecommunications Commission TV stations and frequencies as of December 2024. Trishie042512 (talk) 06:49, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: I'd like to hear more thoughts on Sammi's WP:IAR argument, This is a useful redirect target at AfD, and while I understand if people have qualms over sourcing, this page resolves lots of thorny problems., and if there is any reasonable place for a redirect/merge.
