Welcome to WikiProject Podcasting, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of podcasting. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects.

Scope edit

Wikiproject Podcasting is a WikiProject dedicated to making Wikipedia's knowledge of notable podcast and podcast-related information as complete as possible. We're also here to keep Wikipedia's podcasting articles free of WP:NPOV and WP:NOR issues, and ensure that all podcasts meet WP:WEB notability requirements.

Manual of style edit

Articles edit

There are currently no guidelines for style of podcast articles.
There are currently no guidelines for style of podcaster articles.
There are currently no guidelines for style of podcasting network or collective articles.
There are currently no guidelines for style of podcasting platform or app articles.
There are currently no guidelines for style of podcasting technology articles.

Notability edit

Shows must meet WP:WEB criteria, which covers a broad range of content including webcomics, podcasts, blogs, Internet forums, online magazines and other media, web portals and web hosts. See WP:WEB for full details. Please note that primary sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability—reliable independent third parties must be cited.

A podcast show notability proposal was raised, but did not achieve consensus with the community. An archive is available here. A notability proposal was later raised at WT:NME and was added to the essay with the shortcut WP:NPODCAST. Keep in mind this is still an essay, not a guideline or policy like WP:WEB or WP:N.

Categories edit

Existing categories are as follows:

Category:Podcasting - for broad articles about podcasting in general. Not for shows
Category:Audio podcasts - for shows that distribute a primarily audio-based feed (includes iTunes enhanced podcasts)
Category:Video podcasts - for shows that distribute a primarily video-based feed

Shows may use both audio and video categories, provided separate audio and video episodes are available (e.g. a video show should not also use the audio category just because there is audio within the video episode).

Templates edit
