Is this an advert?

[edit]

I once read an article about Delta Airlines, and I recognised none of this. I checked out the talkpage, and someone opiniated it looked like an advert. Does this page look like an advert? --Stat-ist-ikk (talk) 19:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Digital radio list and bold formatting

[edit]

Regarding these edits [1][2][3][4] by myself and Stevefrommelb, removing and re-applying bold formatting to the names of the digital radio stations...

As I pointed out in the summary for my most recent edit, we have a fairly clear Manual of Style guideline, MOS:BOLD that says that direct bold formatting is not appropriate here. The station names do not need to be in bold "to know they are names" - that is self-evident from the context. They are not "titles" and they do not "need differentiation". There might be a case for re-formatting the list as a description list, as described in MOS:DEFLIST. However, looking at the text in the list, several of the items need to change, because they are:

  • Copied directly from somewhere else, contrary to WP:COPYVIO (eg BUDDHA Hits)
  • Blatantly promotional, contrary to WP:PROMO (eg several references to "best", "favourites")

I suspect that after fixing for copyvio and promo, there won't be enough left to justify a description list.

I will edit the descriptions to satisfy WP:COPYVIO and WP:PROMO, and once that's done we can decide whether the remainder justifies a description list. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:31, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've cleaned up the COPYVIO and PROMO. Does anyone still think it justifies formatting as a description/definition list? Mitch Ames (talk) 12:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the absence of any other comments, I have again removed the unnecessary bold formatting, per MOS:BOLD and my comments above. Mitch Ames (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
