Talk:4 Digital Group

message: There appears to be no reference to the the main competitor for this bid, National Grid Wireless, and in particular that this rival bid proposes to include two Channel 4 services under its proposal - 
Also you seem to be confused between this consortium created for the sake of this bid, and 4Radio itself, or at least I assume you do given that you have you have removed all reference to 4Radio from the Channel 4 article and replaced it with a link to this page, which I will revert in the absence of a 4Radio article.
Oh, and I'd probably get some references in the article somewhere too.

message: Upon further reading, I have grave reservations about this article:
* The tone is very concerning; the whole thing sounds like it has been entirely lifted from Channel 4's press office, and  is singing the consortium's praises at every single opportunity. The language lacks objectiveness and balance, and is in no way critical or objective about the intentions about the bid. Rather than being an encyclopaedic account of a DAB licence bid, it instead comes across as the sales pitch for the bid itself, singing the praises of everything the consortium sets out to do in practically every paragraph.
* No reference whatsoever is made to the alternative bid (or bids), the principle competitor being that of National Grid Wireless, for which a counter-article appears not even to exist. In the interests of objectiveness, one would assume that a balanced comparison between the intentions and objectives of both applications would be vital in any account of this matter.
* Finally, the above points are compounded by the fact that no references or sources are cited in the composition of this piece.
I therefore propose that this article be either deleted, or moved to something along the lines of "UK Commercial DAB Application" and be significantly modified to contain a description of the licensing process itself, alongside objective details of all intended bids.
I shall research this matter further, and go through the appropriate proposal process for this to happen shortly.

replies: text:  There does not have to be an individual Wikipedia article for every discrete subject in the universe! Yes, it's a consortium in its own right, but the overall process is of more interest as an on-going event than a mere aspect of the process, which is all an article about one of the applying consortia amounts to. If you make a 4 Digital Group article, then that means there ought to be an article concerning the National Grid Wireless application, and an article about the application process in itself. One of the applicants is going to fail, which means that straight away one of the articles then becomes redundant. Furthermore I see little reason why there ought to be three articles on what is effectively one subject. I therefore propose that this article be moved to UK DAB National Licence and expanded to include the entire application process -- Fursday 20:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
