See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Depot Hill Media from a year ago. There are no independent, reliable sources to give this article notability. The only sources are local newspaper interest pieces. Google gives it about 600 hits. For its big merger with 207 Live, there are 84 hits...all of them from the Depot Hill Media website. In addition, the author of this article is the "president and CEO" of the company. He has spammed his website for this company before (see this thread) and seems to be continuing it with this and 207 Live. Metros 02:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Strong KeepIndependent sources what are you talking about? As far as i know PRN Newswire and Poughkeepsie Journal are all sources that are third party and independent. Honestly your nailed here. You tried to delete it and it wont work. These are all third party sources my friend--NightRider63 19:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I said independent, reliable sources to give it notability. Yes, it has mention in those two things, but those are interest pieces and not reliable sources to confer notability upon this "corporation." Please show me which of the guidelines of WP:CORP this meets. Metros 19:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- CommentSure Thing,
"...The "secondary sources" in the criterion include reliable published works in all forms, such as (for examples) newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations[1] except for the following:.." There is one.
Now for two..
"Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability.".
Is it either one of those? No. Websters defines Incidental as a single event in time. A corporation is not a single place in time.--NightRider63 19:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- The mentions in the two Poughkeepsie Journal articles are hardly non-trivial. The first one is part of the teens section of the paper which is "a section for teens, by teens, and about teens." Definitely trivial. The second article doesn't even work and just comes up with an invalid story key notice. Metros 19:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Regardless it is a third party website. You have no clue who could be editing that section of the newspaper. Sure it may say by teens for teens, but an older editor obviously scans the articles, making sure they aren't bullshit.--NightRider63 19:45, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- So in your opinion, then, we should have an article on this company based on this article which states it just opened? I mean, it's a third party source, so obviously it's got to mean it's notable, right? Metros 19:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

- Keep It's notable enough. They are a corporation, this is not the only internet radio station with a wiki page. @ Metros, May i suggest placing an AfD on the other 30 or so internet radio stations on here--PownedByWindows 19:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
