Talk:WNYO (FM)

message: FancyMustard, The one liner is fine with me (especially after all that happened). You have to understand that wikipedia has policies that many of us abide by and others do not. That is why there are so many errors on wikipedia. As soon as we fix one error 10 or more are added by vandals, users that do not know how to contribute properly, even when policies are pointed out to them. I just want to point something out to you from the founder of wikipedia (Jimmy Wales), see this Wikipedia:Verifiability#Further reading Click here to jump directly to it. It really does apply to this situation. I am glad that Dorftrottel was able to help and calm the situation down. I did not mean to be harsh with you. I could see that you were trying but you were not reading the rules. That is why I put the Welcome message on your talk page. --pete 20:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Sorry for the problem. I understand vandalism is a big problem. But I hope I've given enough information to prove my points. Even if it isn't scholarly or what exactly you are looking for it does prove my postings. -FancyMustard (talk) 00:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Point this out 

message: I noticed that Orange Mike tagged the article for  and the tag was removed.  I think the tag is completely appropriate as notability has not been demonstrated or even asserted.  The question is "is this a WP:Notable radio station or just a radio station?" If it's notable, why?  Wikipedia:Not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory applies - including to 100 watt radio stations around the world. Toddst1 (talk) 18:54, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: WNYO-FM is broadcast worldwide via www.wnyo.org. Also the home of the Oswego State Lakers Hockey (see bottom of page) which won the 2007 D-III National Championship. It may not be notable to you Todd, but its notable to 120,000 residents of Oswego County, New York and thousands of other alumni or fans of Laker hockey and other programming they can get on the web. -FancyMustard (talk) 19:11, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not if it's notable to me or not - rather, whether it's notable in general which I don't believe the article asserts.  Wikipedia:Places of local interest may apply as well. Toddst1 (talk) 21:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: I have added notable alumni who were once members of WNYO. This section and its entries continue to get deleted. For Al Roker, he directly mentions WOCR in a tweet of his, this has been cited. Steve Levy's membership is mentioned in an Oswego State alumni magazine article. Linda Cohn's membership has been featured in an alumni reunion facebook group multiple times and is listed in the WOCR/WNYO history article that is being written by the alumni of that group. Many citations for WNYO's history are first-person accounts from the people who were there, as well as from old station logbooks and newspaper clippings that are not archived online. In addition, there are plenty of Wikipedia articles that list an organizations history and notable alumni without citing sources that have not received half the scrutiny that this article has. 129.3.128.77 (talk) 15:04, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Steve Levy and Al Roker appear to be fine (despite the Al Roker source being a tweet, but okay, I buy that he was a DJ at Oswego). The Linda Cohn reference is a facebook page, and in the wikipedia rules, it says "Facebook is generally not acceptable as a reliable source". I can't even access the facebook link anyway, so it's impossible to tell if Linda Cohn is even listed there. Even if she is, facebook pages apparently don't count as a "reliable source".
