I don't think this article meets the notability requirements for inclusion on Wikipedia. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs • uploads • logs} 02:06, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Durango is the main locus of media in southwestern Colorado, and media outlets based there reach tens of thousands people in the surrounding area. Most of the outlets based there already have Wikipedia pages of their own. The purpose of this article is to aggregate that information together and provide a link to a the city's main article page. Creating lists such as these is standard practice for U.S. cities and has been for years. See [Category:Lists of media by city in the United States].

Information on these media outlets is available from independent and reliable secondary sources including the

Arbitron, Nielsen, and multiple independent websites, satisfying the significant coverage clause of the notability guideline. FUBAR007 (talk) 02:44, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply

Keep. This information (or most of it, anyway) is encyclopedic and belongs either here or in a section of the main Durango, Colorado article. Merger could be discussed but at first blush this looks like it's long enough to justify a spinout article in any case. In any event, deletion is not appropriate. --Arxiloxos (talk) 03:49, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some improved sourcing would certainly be welcome, but cities are always entitled to have a "media" subsection in their main article and/or a standalone "Media in City" list if there's enough content to warrant one. If the entire list consisted of only one or two media outlets, then I'd support deletion — but as it stands, this content is completely legitimate, so complete deletion is not an option and the only legitimate question is whether it should be a standalone list or merged and redirected into a subsection of the city's main article. And since Durango is the main center for a regional media market, there is enough content here to justify the list. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 18:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
