Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Parks on the Air
Amateur Radio is a notable topic with an extensive network of existing articles on Wikipedia. I am an Amateur Radio operator, and years before I got my license, I read many Amateur Radio-related articles. Within the past year I have actually searched for a POTA article and was disappointed to find that there wasn't one. {{noping|Zul32}} has created an article for a noteworthy topic and has provided more references than many new articles have. I'm discouraged to see a deletion discussion so quickly after article creation. The article is not promotional nor advertisement; it is an article about a popular and significant part of the Amateur Radio hobby. The images in the article pre-existed Zul32's creation of Parks on the Air. Other articles about very comparable subjects have existed for some time, such as Islands on the air, Summits on the Air, and Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society. If the POTA article needs to go, then the other "on the air" articles need to go as well. To quote relevant sections of , "Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time" & "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article". Various types of Amateur Radio operation similar to POTA have attracted attention over a significant period of time (such as Contesting, DXing, Field Day (amateur radio)|Field Day, QRP operation, Amateur radio international operation|international operation, and Amateur radio emergency communications|emergency operation), and many suitable sources exist for the POTA contest and POTA activities (such as ARRL's website, ''QST'' magazine, and the https://ncjweb.com/ National Contest Journal (NCJ) http://www.arrl.org/ncj/ magazine). (These are just the links & sources I was already aware of or found in 30 seconds; Amateur Radio is an incredibly vast hobby with an extensive network of websites supporting and reporting on the hobby
