The result of the move request was: moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) – MaterialWorks 20:31, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The television station (574 pageviews last 30 days) is the only current station with this call sign and a clear primary topic over the radio station, now WFMA (FM), with 59 pageviews last 30 days. A hatnote can easily handle any users seeking the former WNPT-FM. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:25, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Disposition for WNPT added per WP:EXPLICIT. {{replyto|SilverLocust}} (talk) 08:56, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nomination. The WNPT disambiguation page is indeed unnecessary. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:49, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the disambiguation page is missing an entry for WNPT AM, which has been added -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 23:56, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, I intend to review this article. Hope to have it done by this weekend at latest. --Generalissima (talk) 04:22, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Pictures[edit]

Well, picture. It's a public domain logo, so there's not much to talk about there! I wish there were other images, but I totally understand that those are hard to find for a topic like this. All good.

Lede[edit]

Good summary of the article. A bit was confusing to me on first read and might need to be clarified: It's not immediately clear that WDCN-TV is the station that became WNPT. Maybe call it 'WNPT (formerly WDCN)' within the first couple sentences?

  • Hard disagree. We don't do this in broadcasting because stations can sometimes have a lot of call sign changes. Especially radio stations.

Just from the lede, I also don't know what WSIX-TV / WNGE-TV is or why it is relevant to mention it. That might be worth clarifying or reworking so readers can get a better picture at first glance.

  • Channel swap. It's confusing. There's a reason there is a link there. If I write it another way, it might be more confusing—the station became WKRN-TV in 1984. I made one minor change that I hope helps.

Educational television in Nashville: Early efforts[edit]

That section title is a mouthful, and I feel it could be shortened. Maybe just "Early efforts"?

  • The long title is in part to indicate that nothing in that section is specific to WDCN/WNPT. See, for instance, KVPT.

Prose all checks out in the section; you have created a pretty engaging narrative and I can't find any sentences that seem off here.

As always, thank you for using newspapers.com clippings. This makes my job much easier checking the sources.

The channel 2 years[edit]

"Shepherd was among the youngest station managers in the country at the time." ... at what age? I feel that's important information!

  • Good call. He was 32. Fixed.

Spin-off from Metro[edit]

I don't see any problems here! :3

WNPT: Nashville Public Television[edit]

Well, is it WNPT: Nashville Public Television or WNPT (Nashville Public Television)? I feel we should pick one or the other.

  • One is a section header. I do this sometimes when I have call sign changes as a header divider, e.g. KDFI. I changed one more header to make this a little clearer and also better indicate why there is another L2 header.

Funding, Local programming, Subchannels, Notes, References, External links[edit]

All looks good here as well. I don't think the "(debuted 1991[96]).[93]" is actually an error but it does look pretty confusing on first parse. (Oh, hi Seigenthaler!)


General thoughts[edit]

Just a couple things need to be clarified or cleared up and we're good to go!
