The result was delete. Ever discounting the sockpuppet, there is consensus this has insufficent notability to belong as an article in the encyclopaedia. Courcelles 17:54, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The article currently fails WP:GNG, WP:PLOT and WP:WAF. JJ98 (Talk) 01:52, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Element of fiction appears to span seasons of notable franchise. Nominator does not address the possibility of merging content, indicating that WP:BEFORE has not been followed. Jclemens (talk) 00:25, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

:* Notability of the series does not mean that every individual element of the series is independently notable. There need to be reliable sources that discuss the fictional TV station to establish independent notability. Nothing here is sourced and the characters, which make up the bulk of the content, are covered in the characters list. Are You The Cow Of Pain?

Delete- Cow is correct in saying that an element of a fictional series does not inherit notability from the series itself. It is required to demonstrate its own through reliable, independent sources. Furthermore, the article is not about the TV station at all, it's just about the various characters that work there. We already have an article on that, which covers these characters in appropriate depth, but there's nothing to really be said about the TV station itself.

Redirect or weak merge to List of characters in Family Guy#Channel 5 (WQHG), where the more notable recurring characters are already mentioned. Don't keep as a separate article, because the radio stations does not appear to be sufficiently notable for a stand-alone article and because recurring characters can be covered in a List of characters. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see no point in a merge; much of the information is already in List of characters in Family Guy#Channel 5 (WQHG). What is not already in the second article is either OR or overly detailed. The fictional radio station itself is not notable - there appear to be no significant coverage in independent relaible sources. Karanacs (talk) 14:44, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close and allow renomination if required. Nominator User:Are You The Cow Of Pain? has been indef-blocked as a sockpuppet of indef-blocked abusive puppetmaster User:Otto4711. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:38, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Sorry MQS but I can't punch this one either, too many good faith "delete" !votes aside from the nom. However, I will say this. I would rather that the discussion on these take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Family Guy then at AFD. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 11:42, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
