This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Radio. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Radio|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Radio. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Same rationale still exists for recent AfD, which was closed as soft delete. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:47, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the reason this article/list came back was because, despite the prior nomination, an IP had it refunded because they felt the deletion was in error. I have no opinion about this particular article, but it does show that we really need participation here (the last nomination had no comments from anyone other than the then-nominator), and that the "uncontroversial deletion" processes are rarely well-suited to music topics (i.e., there was probably a reason it went to AfD and not PROD in the first place).

Keep. The cd release went Gold. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:24, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A simple search easily found some coverage. Billboard, Sydney Morning Herald, Sydney Morning Herald, news.com.au, The Guardian, Illawarra Mercury, The Standard. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:29, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have carried out WP:BEFORE for this BLP about a journalist and news presenter, and added a reference to a local newspaper. I am not seeing enough coverage to meet WP:GNG, however, and he doesn't meet WP:JOURNALIST. The other two references in the article are primary sources.

Weak delete. Coverage seems limited to official (work) bio plus local news press-release like coverage of him retiring. Too little too meet WP:NBIO IMHO. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 15:32, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can find lots of mentions and social media stuff, but Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Disputed redirect without improvement. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:57, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Indeed, the nominator's prior redirect to WIP-FM#Notable on-air staff was the wrong call… because "notable on-air staff" lists in radio station articles means "on-air staff that have Wikipedia articles", so ironically even a redirect would have led to its eventual removal from the list (and many deletion tools will automatically prune the list entry altogether upon actual deletion). Given there may be too many would-be redirect targets (he had an off-air stint at WFAN/WFAN-FM in the past and co-hosts the Rights to Ricky Sanchez prodcast), it may well be that there is no alternative to deletion here.

A quick search brought up a full-page feature in Newsday, as well as this. BeanieFan11 (talk) 03:16, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - well, there are a couple of sources, but it's not quite significant coverage. Please ping me if you find anything else. Bearian (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Not really sure why this page is being targeted specifically, I could find many other pages of people less notable and with less coverage/sources. Red0ctober22 (talk) 20:28, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 00:27, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I get that, but are you going to go ahead and then propose this for all the other WIP hosts? Because it would just be weird to not have a page for him but have one for others. Red0ctober22 (talk) 03:56, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm reviewing them, and they don't pass GNG, then yes, I'll submit them to AfD. But feel free to do so yourself. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 10:52, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please nominate those other articles as well, we will review them and delete as needed. Oaktree b (talk) 02:59, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Wcquidditch. It being "weird" because other hosts have articles is a textbook WP:OTHERSTUFF argument. If the other hosts meet notability criteria, then they should have an article and if they don't they shouldn't. There are plenty of non-notable people that work among notable people in their field. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:15, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But I would argue that Eskin is more notable than his colleagues, take people like Joe DeCamara or Jack Fritz. Eskin has more experience in the sports radio industry, has worked at more stations, has his own popular podcast, and also carries some fame from his father. It just seems strange to me that out of all the WIP hosts that have a page, Spike Eskin is the one targeted with an AfD. I created the page for Devan Kaney months ago, and have never gotten any resistance to that, and I'll even admit that she is much less notable than Spike. If we are going to delete Spike's page, then most other hosts should be deleted as well. Red0ctober22 (talk) 00:50, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is solely determined by significant coverage in independent sources, not by experience or anything inherited from (in this case) Howard Eskin (or even Rights to Ricky Sanchez). I offer no opinion or comment as to the notability of anyone else (at least in this nomination), but it appears NPP reviewers did not see any issues with those articles that required bringing them to AfD and/or attempting a blank-and-redirect, unlike the reviewer that twice redirected this article before (after being contested both times) starting this nomination.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: Not covered beyond confirmation of him working at a certain radio station or being related to someone [1]. Sourcing in the article is simple confirmation of employment. Oaktree b (talk) 02:59, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
