Notability of persons
Thank you for your interest in Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages:Notability (people) contains the inclusion criterion for people on wikipedia. Based on past history in dealing with local media personalities, on local radio stations and small market television generally those people generally don't meet the requirements for inclusion. You need multiple national sources that show the contributions of the person to their field. Co-hosting a radio show in central Illinois is not enough to warrant inclusion. I noticed your draft article about the subject, and I doubt that the article will be accepted for the reasons I just stated. Sorry. --Dual Freq (talk) 01:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- Additionally, there is no reason to include a list of people who live in a village or city. Please discontinue attempting to start such a list at Villa Grove, Illinois. Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Thanks. --Dual Freq (talk) 01:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
You might want to work on your draft article Draft:Lon Tay instead of deleting references and blindly undoing other edits so you can make a "notable" persons list in a village article. That draft article is going to be rejected by another editor without better references. As a point of comparison, WCIA news anchor Dave Benton's article was recently deleted due to lack of notability. If a local TV anchor is not notable enough for his own wikipedia article, there is pretty much no way a local radio host's article is going to be approved. Trust me, I've been doing this on and off for 8+ years. In it's current state, it's not going to be approved. --Dual Freq (talk) 02:08, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
