KSVE, 1650 AM is now running ESPN Deportes, no longer simulcasting KINT-FM. There is a redirect for KSVE (to KINT-FM). I wasn't sure whether to remove the redirect; I think you created that redirect.User talk:Rudy2alan
- Looks like I did, practically a lifetime ago. In theory, I guess it could be directed to ESPN Deportes Radio, although it probably needs someone to cobble together a stub for it instead. Mlaffs (talk) 22:50, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
disambiguating to a page not discussing the DAB topic
On 29 December 2017, at 05:04, I removed the redirect WAPO (FM) from the disambiguation page at WAPO. On 14 January 2018 at 18:30, you undid my edit, saying "WAPO is an FCC-licensed radio station owned by American Family Association; redirect is to American Family Radio, the programming provided by that organization".
According to the pertinent MOS, disambiguation pages should only link to redirects when "used to link to a specific section of an article if the title of that section is more or less synonymous with the disambiguated topic", when "the redirect target article contains the disambiguated term", when "the primary topic is a redirect", or when "linking to another disambiguation page." I don't see any of those use cases applying at WAPO. — fourthords | =Λ= | 18:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of K268AH
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on K268AH 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 company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Thankful for cooperation, thankful for Wikipedia, Gaioa (t,c,l) 21:51, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, this one is dead on correct according to RadioInsight, a VERY reliable source when it comes to radio station news and information. The editor reverted his changes, back to a straight redirect to the parent station (KJJZ), probably after seeing the A7 notice pop up. This can be reverted with the proper sources. Wanna handle this one to make up for the lack of fun to be hand on the WJCP page? :D - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:59 on January 30, 2018 (UTC)
- Redirect's actually what I would have done here — the translator doesn't originate its own original programming, so the programming details for the HD channel would be in the KJJZ article and then the translator redirects from there. I've been doing a crazy amount of translator work recently what will all the new licenses coming online. Mlaffs (talk) 02:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
