- Hey Nico! That is fine. The first thing I did on Wikipedia is create an article for an item that I was trying to find more info for and I too was shocked to see that there was no article on it. So thank you for being bold. Also note that I moved the page to a new location since there is no need for quotation marks. Oh and don't worry, you will learn the ropes around Wikipedia soon enough.
- Now re: the article itself, the references you have seem to be pointing to blogs a lot. The official website usually doesn't count (since there needs to be third party sources to indicate an article is notable (Wikipedia can not have 6 billion articles for every person in the world - only on those that are notable). Blogs are usually not a good source and Wikipedians and many readers alike would prefer references consisting of Magazines, reviews, newspaper articles, interviews, that kind of thing. But I see that you added a few extra references already so that might be just enough to cover it. But if you can find more publications that would make it even better and ensure the page remains! I hope this helped. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 12:22, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hello! Note this page: WP:OSE and you can see that you can't really use that as an argument (if you have a problem with other radio stations, then nominate them for deletion if you think they are not notable etc. etc.). Well yeah, I have no real concern with the article but others might and there might need to be more inforamtion about it backed up by other sources (blogs, youtube and the official website don't count). Can you find more information about the station in other newspapers, magazines, etc.? I had trouble finding them but I am sure you can find more. Sorry I could not help more but I hope it all works out. Please feel free to continue editing Wikipedia! Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 08:10, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- Here is the reason why: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Radio_Rainbow_International, though I am not sure why you were not notified of this (i.e. when someone puts an article for deletion, they usually send a message letting the creator know and give him a chance to defend the article). Please speak to the individual who nominated the page for deletion if you want more info behind why the article was deleted. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 12:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
