Coherent nonsense - I read into this as an emulator that's a cross between the PMX system and WeatherScan, but the article does not seem to be so. Another weather emulator (we have precedent with this type of article) (I nominated the original precedent). We don't really need emulators here.

  • User:Wxmancanada, the creator, has only edited that article.
  • The other main contributor (User:MikeM2010) is straight out of YouTube and forums related to the topic and has a 3/5 on vandalism.
  • I can't buy the KSMI Weather Service part. A URL provided on the related image is registered to 1 & 1 INTERNET AG, which screams "site made up".
• Delete, seems to exist, but secondary coverage thus far seems nonexistant. Would appear to fail WP:N for this reason. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 10:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
• This isn't an emulator, it's a real channel by a true company that will soon hit TV screens when it's passed by the CRTC. Also, I don't mean to sound offensive, but where did you get the info where I had a 3/5 on vandalism? I've received no notices about me vandalizing articles since I joined.

• MikeM2010: The information was on your userpage. I was fishy because it definitely sounded like it wasn't right. I can't find anything with the CRTC on any filings, KSMI Ottawa on Google turns up nothing relevant, and Weathercaster is not pointing me anywhere. I want reliable sources, and if I don't get any, the article might go. If you can point me to a reliable source not on myksmi.com, I might actually close this nomination!

• FYI, the valdalism counter on my profile is an indicator on how much Wikipedians in general have vandalized, not myself. See Template:Vandalism_information MikeM2010 (talk) 04:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Thank you. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 04:48, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• I am sorry for posting this article. If you would like, you may remove the article, and I will re-post the article upon KSMI's CRTC approval. I would also like to note that KSMI is a private company, and that Weathercaster, by KSMI; is not an emulator." - wxmancanada —Preceding undated comment was added at 01:29, 2 November 2008 (UTC).[reply]
• What should I do? There's obvious notability in the system...but the sources are missing. And this could now fall under G7! Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 05:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
