It looks like the station's new owner, Davyne Dial, has deleted the actual history of the station, leaving only what she feels is relevant to her cause/agenda. If this is to be used as an encyclopedia, then the old article should be brought back with the new info topping it off, as the actual history of the radio station is what is important. There has been much controversy over the last 2 years regarding the station, a full history seems important in this case.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Brandycharlynn ( talk • contribs) 13:39, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
Exercising WP:Be Bold, I removed the paragraph on the defamation suit based on WP:Notability, WP:Relevance, and then concerns over WP:Biography of Living Persons. Since none of the sources posted regarding the court case mention WPVM other than its tie to the plaintiff, I fail to see the notability or relevance of the suit in connection with the station's history. For example, the motivation of the defendant could well be related to other activities of the plaintiff - we simply don't know. In addition, the possible WP:Conflict of Interest charged in the Multiple Issues template raises all of this to another level - for example, is Wikipedia being used as an instrument in the controversies in Asheville? So without sources to tie the station to the court case, I believe we need to err on the side of caution regarding the people involved. Meanwhile, for everyone's convenience, here are the sources:
I understand some editors may disagree with the removal, but I believe this should be discussed before reinstating or re-working the material in question. Allreet ( talk) 02:54, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
