editWelcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this recent edit to The Christians' Hour, you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Calabe1992 20:56, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with this edit to The Christians' Hour. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Tgeairn (talk) 20:59, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
help make it better.
Your article
editI am not deleting your article. I am proposing that it be deleted. I have explained in detail, with links to appropriate Wikipedia rules, why your article in its current state is not acceptable. Please read the explanation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Christians' Hour and feel free to comment there. Continuing to remove the AfD notice from the article will lead to you being blocked from editing. Sparthorse (talk) 21:01, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Your recent edits
editHello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:04, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
how to do that
Further comments
editYour article has no assertion of notability at all. If you don't want it deleted, you will need to improve it by proving notability from a verifiable source other than the station itself. Calabe1992 21:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
how to do that?
More explanation
editAll Wikipedia articles must be verifiable by readers. This means they must have references that say where their information comes from. These references must be to reliable sources. Your article does not have any sources, so does not meet our requirements for verifiability. In addition, your article must show why the subject is notable. Please read WP:GNG which are Wikipedia's basic rules for determining if a subject is notable. If you can provide sources that show how the subject meets the General Notability Guidelines, then it will not be deleted. Add those sources to the article, then explain how they demonstrate notability at the AfD discussion. Good luck, Sparthorse (talk) 21:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

is that good?
- I'm afraid it doesn't much help. Its is not an independent, published source, as required by Wikipedia's rules on notability. Nor does it provide substantive discussion of the subject. You need multiple (i.e. at least two) articles in significant independent, published sources. For example, if there was a New York Times article about The Christian's Hour that would be an excellent source. Can you provide links to coverage inmajor independent publications?

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on User talk:Sparthorse were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved by another user. In the future you can use the "New section" link in top right. For more details see talk page guidelines. Thank you. Calabe1992 21:23, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Christians' Hour. Thank you. Here. Calabe1992 16:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
