List of television and radio stations in Zamboanga City[edit]

Only a list of media companies. No other substantial content included and a mere violation to WP:NOT#DIR. If possible, transfer it to WikiDirectory (Is there any so we could save the content anyway)? --βritand&βeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 07:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC))) BritandBeyonce 07:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keep No reason to target this Phillipines city radio and TV stations list. The Category:Lists of radio stations and Category:Lists of television channels shows that such lists are well established for various cities throughout the world. Argument made about 'directory' WP:NOT#DIR can be used against each and every list in WP, but WP accepts lists as part of WP so deletion argument has no merit.

Rename Media of Zamboanga City. Basically per Summary style, but this is specifically what we do with WP:CITIES too. The city in question has a population of 700k and it's entirely reasonable that there should be subpages. This is a decent enough start for an article on local media outlets. --W.marsh 00:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Ok, no worries. --βritand&βeyonce ^{(talk•contribs)} 03:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into the created (but empty) List of Philippine broadcast stations or similar - a geographic area this small does not need its own special list of broadcast stations when a larger, sortable list can do the job. JPG-GR 07:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are lists of TV stations for every US state in Category:Lists of television channels, which all seem like perfectly reasonable lists. This is by city, which is a bit different, but as W.marsh says, it's a big city. Maybe someone will reoorganize by region, or separate TV from radio, but not every country can be as neatly divided up as the US can into states.
