Dravecky

[edit]

I just wanted to take a moment to remember our good friend and a driving force behind this project, and others, Dravecky. We lost him 4 years ago today, April 23.

An admin, he was honored with 3 good articles and 145 DYKs, plus he had 104,715 edits to his name, including one (his last) the morning he passed. Dravecky was a friend to all, on and off Wikipedia. A SciFi fan above all else. He helped do the behind the scenes stuff (along with his longtime girlfriend Robyn) for FenCon, WhoFest, among many others and met many of his favorite actors and actresses. He loved his University of Alabama Crimson Tide football.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say he is still missed by all here. Roll Tide, Dravecky. :) - NeutralhomerTalk • 15:39 on April 23, 2020 (UTC) • #StayAtHome

Hits Radio — the GHR treatment needs to be revived

[edit]

Putting this here because I do not have the bandwidth for this.

You might recall the Greatest Hits Radio RfC in 2020. That same precedent needs to be applied to the Hits Radio network which is rolling up legacy names. I had a conversation with Flip Format on my talk page on this (User talk:Sammi Brie#Hits Radio (UK)) and wanted to bring the venue here. I don't have the bandwidth to handle this, but it sure sounds like we've hit a point at which a breakpoint on these rolled-up stations' articles is advisable.

I would agree with this. To summarise, although nothing programming-wise has changed at each of these stations with the rebrand, I don't think that each individual Hits Radio station has the notability that it did when it was a local radio station, given that each station originates no programming other than a single morning show (and not even that, in cases like City/Rock FM, Metro/TFM and the various Free Radio stations). On the other hand, the history of stations like Radio City, Metro Radio, Red Rose/Rock FM etc is clearly notable and these stations could sustain historic articles of their own, running from their individual launches through to the 2024 rebrand. Hits Radio should have an article which mentions the stations within the network, but each network station doesn't need an article. Flip Format (talk) 12:27, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
