The result was no consensus. Discarding the last "keep", we are still at 2:1. Sandstein 06:36, 15 April 2018 (UTC)reply
UCTV is a college tv station. The article does not meet
WP:GNG. Other than a segment on Bill O'Reilly's show in 2002 (see
WP:NOTNEWS), I don't see anything other than local coverage (90% of which is from the college newspaper). It also does not appear that the tv station is available anywhere except the campus cable systems.

Keep The 2002 media stories and the 2011 Hartford Courant article are enough to slide this past
WP:GNG. Also, it's worth noting that the campus newspaper is journalistically independnent of the university, though whether that's enough to qualify it for
WP:RS, I don't know.

The school newspaper should not be considered independent for purposes of establishing notability, since they are the school newspaper they are going to cover anything that happens at the school, plus they have a very small audience. Also, other than the one segment by Bill O'reilly, did anyone cover the 2002 story nationally?--

Well, I googled "I Did Your Mother" but it's a very dark minefield that I don't really want to navigate through to see if I can find anything that's actually about the show. If someone more brave than me wants to, go ahead.

Again all you found were highly local sources, nothing that meets
WP:AUD which is applicable here since this is an organization. Also, the result of
WP:Articles for deletion/Live! with Pete Finch is irrelevant, an existence of a redirect is not a valid reason to keep an article.--

Coverage in newspapers on the other side of the state like
Connecticut Post, and
Fairfield County Weekly is not "highly local". Moreover, the
Hartford Courant is the large statewide daily, not the newspaper in the college town. Other sources turn up in quick searches, like a discussion of one aspect of the station's fundraising in Student Television in America: Channels of Change. a 1998 book published by Iowa State University Press.

(Non-administrator comment)@
E.M.Gregory: I tweaked your post a bit just so that its more consistent with the type of formatting used in AfDs like this. (Not sure why you linked to the article
Keep). Also, please be careful to only
WP:!VOTE once in a discussion. You already seem to have !voted keep above. --

sorry, that was careless. I had not bolded that keep, and didn't spot it when I revisited.

Because it is obvious. See the discussion above. --

So, basically as long as the article is kept, any reason is a good reason, aka
