Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RedandNater.com (third nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was : I have reviewed the article. The references are mainly to blogs, discussion boards, or the website itself (which is now gone), or dead links that have been excluded from Internet Archive; none contain anything that would verify the former website's notability. In the previous nomination it has been claimed that "The board [was] frequently quoted in main stream media as a source for breaking broadcasting industry news". The statement came directly from the article's creator, and he didn't provide any references for that. Deleted. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 06:46, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is very little here that is verifiable; most of this is original research or, essentially, reminiscences. Of the nine "references", nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 are dead links; #5 is about someone who might have contributed, but doesn't mention the topic, and #6/7 are fora, not reliable sources. With respect to the previous two AfD processes, the first in 2008 was closed by a non-admin (who has since left the project) using no criteria I can understand, and the second from 2010 was "no consensus", from which I quote: "At some point I presume the board will just die off and then the WP page will be gone …". I believe that time has come. Ubelowme _U ^Me 19:05, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Yet another radio rumor board dealing in libel and mudslinging which died because the mods grew tired of it. Wasn't even notable at its height beyond a select few obsessed with radio formats and personnel. Nate • (chatter) 00:26, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
