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 ROAR! KCLSU Newspaper 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Timneu22 · talk 12:53, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article ROAR! KCLSU Newspaper, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with ROAR! KCLSU Newspaper. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dominic Sewell, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:20, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi James, I am not involved with Roar but do know its editors. I feel I would be in a good position to start its wiki page. Apologies. I am new to wiki and am learning about your copyright policies. I am affiliated with KCL Radio. Does this mean I will need to get someone else to writie the page? If so, can I start the page and get someone else to edit it?

The article KCL Radio has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non-notable student "radio station". May start actually broadcasting next year.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Notability

[edit]

Hi. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is selective about its subjects, unlike sites like Myspace where anyone can write about anything. Our main criterion for inclusion is called notability, and is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases.

Student clubs, newspapers, internet radio stations etc are very seldom notable and articles about them often get deleted, so think hard before you put much effort into trying to create them. There is good advice about article writing at WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kungfujam. You have new messages at JohnCD's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

JohnCD (talk) 21:56, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

John,

Would you consider the article written by KCL independently of KCLSU and us notable? http://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/news_details.php?news_id=1460&year=2010 Also page 23 of King's' independent and official paper Comment (this is nothing to do with and is not influenced by the union) http://www.kcl.ac.uk/media/publications/comment.html Also our mention on the Alumni report page, again independent from us https://alumni.kcl.ac.uk/Page.aspx?pid=3546

I realise that all these references are from King's College London. However, KCLSU is completely separate.

If these are considered not noteworthy then fair enough. Will an article or two in The London Student (a university of London publication) suffice?

If not then could you please advise what would constitute of proof of 'noteworthyness' in this situationKungfujam (talk) 12:40, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability and all that

[edit]

No, I don't think those are enough for notability (not "noteworthiness" - Notability is a technical term in Wikipedia, and is not a matter of opinion). The first seems to be a press release, the alumni thing is just a mention in a long list, and what you really need is some indication that the subject has had some substantial interest outside the world of KCL, or of London students - an article (more than a mention) in a national newspaper, for instance, but even there one would probably not be enough. I am not Authority - we don't work like that - but that is my opinion.

Suggestions for reading (apologies for just giving you links, but it saves writing it all out again, and we have this sort of conversation very frequently):

Looking round the various notability guide pages, I have found Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines which includes, in the section WP:UNIGUIDE#Student life:

Under Wikipedia's rules for media notability, a campus or college radio station is notable if it is duly licensed by the appropriate media regulatory authority, such as the FCC in the United States or the CRTC in Canada. Unlicensed university or college radio stations which broadcast only on Part 15, carrier current or Internet radio may be mentioned in the school's main article, but are not entitled to independent articles unless they are themselves the subject of reliable secondary sources. Similarly, student newspapers may be mentioned in the school's main article, but need to be the primary subject of reliable secondary sources to qualify for independent articles.

I regret being so discouraging, and you are of course welcome to go ahead, but I should be sorry to see you pour into it the same amount of energy and emotion that your Netball Club colleagues did. You can read here the last two of several long rants they wrote explaining how wonderful and important their club was, but they never managed to get their heads round the idea that it could be wonderful and important in their terms and still not notable in ours. Their article ended with a long string of reference links, but they were to the websites of the student union bar, of the sports ground, of the supplier of their kit... multiplicity of inadequate references does not help.

Hi John,

We are licenced by PRS and PPL. I will attempt to provide some other notability proof according to your linked articles

KCL Radio

[edit]

I can see from your talk page that you've already been given advice about notability and how to establish it for this entry. In short, notability is established by third party sources, not by facts, whatever the facts may be. If you can scare up some sources (sources independent of the subject, not more university sources) then please go ahead and add them to the entry. Cheers.
