In 2009 deletion incentive - 'discussion' resulted with just two opinions to merge with WFMU...

This article was nominated for deletion on 17 April 2009 (UTC). The result of the discussion was merge to WFMU.

...meanwhile FMA article is notable on its own. This is just to add context to this. --Zblace (talk) 08:34, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CSD

This may fall under G11 and not G4, but I don't know whether this is an exact recreation or not.

Speedy Deletion

The problem is, with the site being only 5 days old, it is very hard to indicate why that website is important or significant. Please review WP:WEB for the notability requirements for web content. If this site survives the notability criteria the please add third party references to substantiate that. Thanks. JCutter (talk) 02:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I contend that the site is notable for a variety of reasons 1 - It hosts 5,000 podsafe free tracks for use 2 - Has received substantive media attention from the respected news website cnet.com http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10217017-2.html and prefixmag.com http://www.prefixmag.com/news/free-music-archive-launches/27708/ 3 - Is officially associated with the New York State Music fund and free form radio station WFMU.

Alternatively, if you think this reasoning is kind of weak I would be in favor of merging this article with WFMU
