message: SouthernMedia-NMSA has a reference when you play the "WEWS 1990 News Theme" mentioning that while they dropped the Eyewitness News moniker in favor of NewsChannel, they occasionally would play old Catch 5/Hello Cleveland promos that WEWS used during the '70s and '80s under the branding of "Classic Promo" (apparently, that's where the TV Ark "Catch 5" promo came from).

Hi there. The "notable alumni" section is pretty out of hand.
I trimmed it down to include only the people who have their own pages and can therefore verifiably meet WP:GNG. These changes were reverted without explanation by an IP, so I restored them. Now a registered user has reverted them as well, so I'd like to check in here to see what the problem is, as there was still no edit summary or other information provided.
If anyone else has any thoughts on how to trim this list so it isn't a subjective list of personalities who WP editors happen to think are notable, I'd love to get more opinions.

message: Per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I don't believe we should list all staff.  We should limit it only to those that are most important--that is, full-time anchors, and any employees notable enough for their own Wikipedia page (that will mean they've been discussed by independent sources in details); of course, all such employees would need to be verified by the station's website. Unless someone can come up with a reason to keep them (note that their being in other articles isn't legit, as it falls under WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and the eventual plan is to try to make the same rule at other articles), then I'm going to remove them again.

This should be a happy medium for all involved.  It contains all the information, but in a tighter, cleaner format.

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 22:06, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there any particular reason why WYTV is even mentioned?  WYTV has always been in its own separate television market, so why would it compete against WEWS?  WEWS and WAKR were the ones competing against each other because they are in the same television market.
- Joski1624 (talk) 07:50, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's still considered a secondary affiliate that people in the Cleveland market can pick up. And the way WEWS has been known for programming controversies over the years, I would think people would want to know about the Cleveland market having an alternative if WEWS decides to screw up there again. You might also consider WSYX in Columbus and WTRF 7.2 in Wheeling, WV, as other possible secondary ABC affiliates on the outskirts of the market area. 73.174.72.143 (talk) 03:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

message: There are 2 version of the 1995 set. Both have newsdesks with Larry King Live like deviders. The main desk has big chunk of 2x4 covering an aura of light which I have no idea what it is. The other has the WEWS Circle 5 logo(slanted version)rendered in white on a greyish blue background. Both have skylines of Cleveland. The main one is supposed to have Cleveland at night. It doesn't it shows Cleveland's city lights on in broad daylight. Divided by a yellow wall with a tv The weather center was simply yellow with 2 eggcrate scrollers. Version 1.5 had blue walls in the weather center. Version 2 used BOTH before AND after WEWS ditched their old Circle 5 had the main desk area with purple walls. 173.123.61.58 (talk) 11:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Each name in a list of people must meet the very basic criteria of WP:LISTPEOPLE. This is reinforced by the consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television Stations. Putting a list into a different format doesn't make it exempt from that; it's a list of people whether each name is on the same line, or each name is on a different line, that is irrelevant and each name must meet WP:LISTPEOPLE or each name that does not should be removed per Wikipedia consensus, and should not be reinserted until the criteria is met. - Aoidh (talk) 03:58, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Does anybody notice any similarities or differences between the logo used by British broadcaster Channel 5 between 2011 and 2016 and the new logo introduced by WEWS in September 2016? I do remember that those two logos are very similar to each other, and it looks like WEWS used a recolored version of Channel 5's 2011-2016 logo.
A similar situation existed when German television broadcaster RTL II launched in early 1993. The logo used by Cedar Rapids television station KGAN between late 1993 and early 2004 was a repurposed/modified/recolored version of the logo used by RTL II from its launch earlier that year up until the spring of 1996. Those logos coexisted with each other between late 1993 and the spring of 1996, after which RTL II adopted a new logo that they would use until the first version of their current logo was introduced in 1999.

I also note that the call letters for WEWS is not being mentioned in any of the news reports that I can see, and I assume this is because the Media is censoring reports of this story in order to avoid the negative publicity that would normally be expected from something like this.2605:6000:6947:AB00:AD2E:C4D3:781E:7FE3 (talk) 20:53, 6 August 2018 (UTC)
