Areas that need working on

[edit]

A few things leap out at me, following a quick read through.

  1. Lack of references You have included sources which are referred to as Primary sources. These are the ones that have been written by the Radio website. If the article is to survive on Wikipedia, it needs to have multiple third-party sources. Have a read of Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.
  2. Reads as an advert At the moment, the article reads as an advert for the station. People who are fans of something tend to write without a neutral point of view, and so fill their articles with statements that read like advertising copy. As well as the links already placed on this point, have a read of WP:SPAM#How not to be a spammer.
  3. Possible conflict of interest. Looking at your username, I can't help but wonder whether or not you are Tom Wright who presents the Eco show. If that is the case, there is a definite conflict of interest (read WP:COI for more information). That's not to say that you can't start the article off, but I would definitely urge you to rethink about writing this article. If you aren't Tom Wright, then you need to say so. If you are Tom Wright, then you must declare it. Certainly on this page, and it might also be an idea to say so at WP:COI/N.
  4. The final point that will need to be addressed (which is tied in with point 1 above) is whether or not the radio station is actually notable. Have a read of WP:NOTABILITY and WP:WEB. If it doesn't meet any of the notability points, then it is unlikely that any amount of editing work will allow it to be kept at the moment. That's not to say that this won't happen in the future, but you must remember that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.
