argument is a technical one, which I agree with, but based on this it is a technicality, rather then a notability issue. What I understand here is, Apple and PCs are two totally different computer systems, but your noting Apple is not notable because it is technically different, and has a smaller market share. On this I would feel that a source citation notation for the article would be more appropriate then a deletion. You also note that one of the articles is more about his handicaps then the net station, I would assume that is why the station is notable, because it was established by someone who had severe disabilities
483:. As for the references, this was addressed in the nomination rationale. The first and fourth references are from the same local newspapers, printed one day apart. The fourth reference in particular has a strong focus on the owner and his medical conditions; the article is more about him than his webcast. Together the citations do not constitute "significant" coverage. --
501:
In your reply, you note that the first and fourth links were one day apart. Don't you think the fact that the station got two articles over two days is "significant" coverage? And also your argument keeps homing back onto the difference between internet radio and real radio. So the basis of your

Whilst I agree that there are only a few references in the article, most of which link directly to the site the article is about, I have checked the artciles of three other radio stations, so far, all from the same area, Sydney, all of which contain only a few references, the majority of which link

Internet "radio" station of dubious notability. There are a few refs in the article, but these are mainly from the station's own site. Those that aren't are more about the station's creator, who is blind and has

Your Apple/PC analogy is so severely flawed it's not worth discussing, since the technical differences have nothing to do with notability and, while Apples and PCs are both types of computers,

Yes, I can see where you are coming from with "radio" vs "internet 'radio'" which is also known as "webcasting" - no argument there. Would the "Other Stuff Exists" rule apply for placing this article into the catergory of "Internet Radio

Hi, I was wondering why the 2PR FM article is being targeted for deletion, as I noticed the sources from the bottom were from major newspapers like the ZD Net, Penrith Press, and the St. George Leader. I'm just rather curious as for example when checking WSFM 101.7s article, it only has two
