Contested PROD. Notability is not demonstrated. It may have minor coverage but nothing significant. Seems to be an element of vanity in the long lists of names. DanielRigal (talk) 22:33, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - notability,through the special as shown below on the article. Also, reference cite to East Bay Newspapers of an article that was taken off their website recently due to a new layout. Accruate information, other pages like this on Wikipedia of high school television stations with same wiki format that have been kept...this one is more detailed/cited! --Gak32 (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2009 (UTC) — Gak32 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This is not a station, which would be notable if it had a broadcast licence, but a program on a station that seems not to have a broadcast licence or an article of its own. That makes a big difference. It is already mentioned in the Mount Hope High School (Rhode Island) article and I think that, possibly with a little expansion, is as much coverage as it needs. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:59, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then what would be your debate for Sunrise on Eagle's Wings article that was kept? Same thing. Husky News Network follows along with Wikipedia guidelines, as does that article - hence why that was kept. This is an informational article on a high school's unique program. ---Gak32 (talk) 23:02, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't "kept". Nobody has ever nominated it for deletion. Until now... --DanielRigal (talk) 00:25, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid reason for keeping. LibStar (talk) 14:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: "Other 'insert subject here' have articles too!" isn't really a valid argument in a case by case basis. While it may be cool that this high school has a newscast of its own, there's nothing especially notable about it. That the fact is covered in the high school's main article should be more than enough. Bagheera (talk) 00:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:16, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete doesn't appear to have third party coverage. nothing in gnews [1]. LibStar (talk) 14:49, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Trim and merge with school. Independent notability is insufficient to meet guidelines. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete - "It is notable due to its status as one of the best live television productions produced by high school students on a daily basis in Rhode Island" Well that's fantastic, but in whose opinion exactly? There are no secondary sources to back up this claim and, even if there were, best high school produced TV production in Rhode Island would still be a somewhat ropey claim for notability. What is written on the school's page is quite adequate - the newscast has no notability outside of its parent institution. --A1octopus (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I feel a bit like I'm kicking a puppy by doing this, but there doesn't appear to be any substantial coverage of HNN in reliable sources. Sorry. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 07:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]
