WikiProject iconThis page is within the scope of WikiProject Podcasting, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of notable podcasts and podcast-related information on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.
ProjectThis page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Podcasting Project Revival!

Hey all, this project was tagged as being semi-active and it looks like it's in need of some goals and active members. I've messaged those who indicated they were previously interested and hopefully we can get things cooking again. I adjusted the goals and structure of the project page. Feel free to discuss below or start contributing by making edits.

Let's get some work going and clean up some of these pages!

Notability Requirements

Notability for specific podcasts is an ongoing issue that has never been resolved. Unfortunately, it still seems difficult to come up with hard numbers of downloads and popularity. I think it may just be a matter of submitting those that are questionable for group review. Here is a proposal, largely based on this prior discussion for a baseline guide to notability. Please let me know if you agree, disagree, or agree in part. Please explain your choice and propose changes in order to come to an agreement.

For a podcast to be considered notable, it must meet 3 of the following requirements:
  • At least one full year of regular broadcast
  • At least one mention in regular media (print, television, etc.)
  • Winner of a major podcast award (iTunes Podcast of the Year, etc.)
  • Consistently rank in top 100 of a podcast directory (iTunes top 25, etc.)
  • Consistently have more than 100,000 downloads per episode
  • Association with a major media outlet (BBC, New York Times, etc.)
  • Hosted by notable person

Assessment Standards

I think for now, most assessment can done based on the standard Wikipedia guidelines. I would propose the following minimum standards though for any podcast articles:

  • If an article should be included in the project, notability must be discussed on the article's talk page and a consensus must be reached
  • Podcast Infobox must be included
  • Podcast Footer must be included

Let me know what else you think should be included on this. Thanks! Udeezy (talk) 02:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

podcasting-related article up for deletion

Just an FYI, since this project doesn't have a delsort category. tedder (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem getting the complete episode list onto WP. It has apparently been put up and taken down several times. Can anyone from the project clarify the process to getting this type of table into an article? does it require a separate page or should it be embedded into the original article? If there is a Podcast project, isn't expanding the articles for the more important podcasts be one of the tasks? EraserGirl (talk) 18:26, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
