KSEX

Porn internet-radio station. Was tagged and detagged for speedy, I'm bringing it here because it might be regarded as promotion and I'm not sure how to test notability for this kind of thing. 66,600 google hits [1] for a porn internet-radio station. Kappa 14:01, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable radio station. Article needs expansion, but is a viable topic. 23skidoo 19:23, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep radiostations, especially porn ones. Grue 20:11, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • It would appear that it is an internet 'radio' station. Anyone with broadband could set up an internet 'radio' station. Average Earthman 22:39, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, it's concept is quite original, at least I haven't heard of porn radio stations before. The fact that one of the hosts is a porn actress with "world gang bang record" only adds to notability. Grue 06:06, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • The latest internet fad meets porn. And you're surprised? Average Earthman 15:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • I'm surprised it even took this long. Megan1967 09:58, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I don't think radio stations are inherently notable, not in this day and age of media consolidation. There are some stations notable for being pioneer stations (KDKA and WBZ come to mind), and others that are regionally notable for one reason or another, and a borderline case might be WXKS-FM in Boston (Kiss 108, Just Another Clear Channel Slushbomb), whose main point of notability is its sponsorship of the annual Kiss Concert, which is a fairly high-profile free concert. And then you've got (again in the Boston market) WKOX, whose only claim to fame is being one of the local outlets for Air America Radio -- not notable enough IMHO. As for web radio... well... not so much. But see my point below. Haikupoet 22:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn. Grue's reasoning seems specious. RickK 23:28, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If there is one thing we don't need it is advertising for pornographic radio stations. Sjakkalle 09:05, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete unless article establishes notability. Gamaliel 02:26, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- it's more or less the radio equivalent of Adult Video News, and appears to be fairly notable within the porn industry. I personally would enjoy it much more if there was other sexual content that didn't revolve around the porn industry per se, but that's a personal opinion, not a vote. Fact is KSEX is notable for being about the only service in its particular niche. Haikupoet 22:24, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's at least as notable as all the individual radio masts and power lines that have their own articles. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:18, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable and unique. I agree with Rick though on Grues reasoning. Megan1967 05:58, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
