WXIX was known as XIX and WXIX for decades. I can't even remember it being referred to as WSCO -- I don't know who the heck came up with that non-factoid! It was WXIX when it broadcast Gilligan's Island and Popeye Cartoons at 3:00 p.m. during the school season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.209.252.141 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
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 this article. Not including this type of material in articles abides by current consensus and is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
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.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:NLIST 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.
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). thanks Deconstructhis (talk) 15:28, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
