Alice's Restaurant Rock Radio

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article about a defunct pirate radio station, with no evidence of the reliable source coverage needed to get around the fact that pirate radio stations are not extended an automatic presumption of notability per WP:NMEDIA. This is based almost entirely on primary sources that fail to actually verify the content being cited to them -- for example, the claim that this station was inspired by "Radio Geronimo" is referenced to a source which demonstrates that something called "Radio Geronimo" existed, but fails to mention Alice's Restaurant at all (let alone actually verifying the claim that it was inspired by Geronimo) -- and nearly all of the other sources suffer from the same problem. The only source present here that contains a mention of Alice's Restaurant at all, in fact, contains that mention in a reader comment thread on a user-generated messageboard, not in a reliable source. The depth and quality of sourcing needed to make this notable simply isn't in evidence here at all. Bearcat (talk) 15:57, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
