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 articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion 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:Source list 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). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 14:01, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

just an info: be careful - KiFi is in german a bad word

Kifi {m} [Jargon: Kindesmissbrauchstäter (Kinderficker)] - chester [slang] [child molester]

"Kifi" ist die Abkürzung für Kinderficker und kann für ältere Männer verwendet werden, die eine sehr junge Freundin haben.

Sorry, i am writing this, because a friend here in Germany has made a joke with this jargon about this TV-station. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.248.158.153 (talk) 02:19, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prose (Criteria 1a, 1b, 4) clock

Lead

Looks good :)

History

It intended at that time: It's not sufficiently clear that "it" refers to KIFI here.

but together they owned seven—more than allowed by FCC regulations introduced in late 1953: Could you mention explicitly that this meant they could not broadcast?

In October 1954, the permit for KIFT: You mean "KIFI"?

Not a typo. The CP was for a KIFT.

the permit for KIFT—along with those of co-owned stations in Boise and Pocatello, was: It's weird opening the parenthetical with a dash and then closing it with a comma

Mention that the J. Robb Brady Trust owned The Post Register as done in the lead.

management of KIFI had changed its mind on television: Too vague

the Eastern Idaho Broadcasting and Television Company reapplied: Reapplied? They haven't been mentioned yet.

full-power signal to Eastern Idaho than KTLE: "full-power" is not an adjective so this construction doesn't work

Can "computerized election returns" be linked?

Suggest linking "stereo sound"

News-Press & Gazette Company ownership and consolidation with KIDK

Is there no sourcing on when it affiliated with Telemundo and CBS?

It's in there. But this is not a typical change of affiliation. It's essentially one TV station absorbing the vital organs of another (without people noticing). So the sourcing and phrasing will be strange. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 04:02, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[13]: Y

[18]: The wording makes it seem like the singular program was the first for all these things, so I suggest changing the "it" after the comma to KIFI.
