Libya frequencies[edit]

Should the contain a list of known frequencies? A user keeps removing those frequencies in Libya, insisting that such content is illegal. This is a continuation of this AN discussion, which deemed that the issue is outside the scope of AN, but the closing admin expressed concern about the user's behavior. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 02:49, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ISIL's URL have been blacklisted for the same reasons. Also, frequencies are not an encyclopedia's information, it incitate people to watch terrorist propaganda. Any administrator have claimed that the section could be kept. It is only about the request of removing links. Panam2014 (talk) 04:15, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Panam2014 If a law requires Wikipedia to not have certain content, that needs to be communicated to the Wikimedia Foundation(on that link under "legal"), as that's above our pay grade. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You might also want to explain how people can be incited to watch or more accurately listen to something which stopped 6 years ago. Nil Einne (talk) 01:41, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Radio frequencies[edit]

NAC: With one Yes statement and one No statement, there is only one close that reasonably reflects the inability to agree on a consensus, so I am closing this RFC as No Consensus. I recommend that a new RFC be initiated, and that it be better publicized neutrally at WikiProjects. Robert McClenon (talk) 07:00, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RFC: Radio Frequencies of Al-Bayan[edit]

Should the article on Al-Bayan (radio station) include a list of known radio frequencies used by Al-Bayan in Iraq, Syria, and Libya? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please answer Yes or No in the Survey. Please do not respond to other editors in the Survey. That is what the Discussion section is for.

Survey[edit]

Yes The information is encyclopedic, and it appears that the transmitters for which frequencies are known no longer operate. We have information on frequencies of other pirate radio stations around the world, even if they are illegal. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:09, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I don't see why not.--Ortizesp (talk) 07:27, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes as per my reasoning in the previous RfC above. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 11:45, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I also don't see why not. Hogo-2020 (talk) 20:56, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. This is standard information I would expect to see at a page about a radio station. --(loopback) ping/whereis 09:43, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
