Talk:KCPQ

Article name

I have moved this article back to KCPQ from KCPQ-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 KCPQ. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations.

KCPQ to Fox television stations

http://www.adweek.com/tvspy/fox-may-buy-10-sinclair-stations/198878

This article suggests that Fox could get KCPQ as a result of Sinclair divesting stations because of the Sinclair/Tribune deal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:C600:8270:0:0:0:AF87 (talk) 00:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

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) 17:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Opinion masquerading as information

Speculation is that when KTNT learned that it would eventually lose its CBS affiliation to KIRO-TV, which hit the airwaves in February 1958, it threw an on-air tantrum by dropping the Evening News and letting channel 13 pick it up.

The lawsuit surrounding the CBS affiliation contest between KTNT and KIRO was major news in the broadcasting industry for years and the subject is hardly done justice by this snarky entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David breneman (talk • contribs) 18:57, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
