Article name[edit]

I have moved this article back to KATV from KATV-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KATV. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations. —A 08:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest in Little Rock, but not in Arkansas[edit]

KATV is the oldest TV station in Little Rock, but not the oldest in Arkansas; KFSM (then KFSA-TV) in Fort Smith beat it by a few months. There was a KRTV in Little Rock that was on even before KFSM, but it folded after a year; KATV then bought its studios and moved to Little Rock. (It maintains a Pine Bluff studio to this day to comply with the FCC's conditions for moving its license to Little Rock, though under current FCC rules it could close it and keep its studio in Little Rock even if the FCC moved its license back to Pine Bluff.) The original KRTV studios burned down a few years later.

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material[edit]

Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

  1. WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
  2. As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
  3. WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
  4. Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
