@Stereorock Can you at least explain why it meets WP:NCORP for you? SBKSPP (talk) 01:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @SBKPP WP:ILLCON for one. This is a link to the Justice Department’s website which states that Jim Feijo pled guilty for selling cancer treatments that were sold on his radio show. Jim’s show aired on ARN, which he & his wife owned. DC1 was the flagship show. An article in the Providence Journal about the same. An article from GoLocalProv about this court case which mentions their radio show. An internet archive search should reveal a schedule on ARN’s former website showing their show as airing in that network. These could have easily been added to the article instead of it being nominated for deletion. Maybe DCO is the real article with ARN as an arm of it, but it was a part of the Feijos’ business empire which directly contributed to their court cases.

  The first link is to a press release, which is not secondary coverage. Neither of the other articles even mentions the radio network. Let'srun (talk) 23:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - A press release issued by the United States Justice Department, not by some random entity, nor one that is sympathetic to the Feijos. Or are you arguing that the United States government can’t be a reliable source? As for the second part, I said the article said the Feijos had a radio show. They *owned* the network that it was on, which is demonstrated in the current links, and that their show aired on that network. I also said maybe DC1 should be the main article with the network being a section in the article as it was a way for the Feijos to disseminate information about their product, and ultimately get people to buy the product.
