No evidence this radio station passes WP:NCORP. Sources are unreliable or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS; WP:BEFORE search turns up no WP:SIGCOV. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Agree with the nom that none of the references in the article pass WP:NORG/WP:ORGIND. The best is the Sun Star reference but that is still just an interview. Nothing in my WP:BEFORE either. FOARP (talk) 07:57, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Sources 2 and 5 talks about part of the station's history and programming. Source 3, 6 and 7 talk about part of its programming. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:GNG with the reliable sources indicated (except Source 4, which is just a blog). ASTIG 😎🙃 13:09, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Source 2 is a WP:SELFPUBLISHED blog. Source 3 is a promo for a music event that has a single WP:TRIVIALMENTION of a former DJ for the station. Source 5 is a profile of a former DJ that has a single passing mention of the station. Source 6 is likewise a single passing mention. Source 7 is WP:PROMO for an event the station is taking part in, not independent coverage. In sum, not a single source qualifies for WP:GNG. ~~Furthermore, the stricter WP:NCORP is the test the applies here, not GNG.~~ Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:11, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's unfair and unjust to apply WP:NCORP for radio/TV stations. Broadcast companies and organizations do go under the said guideline, not the stations they own and/or operate. Since WP:BCAST has been long ditched as a guideline, WP:GNG should at most apply for broadcast stations. My keep stands. ASTIG 😎🙃 10:03, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Struck my comment about NCORP, but based on the source analysis, it doesn't even meet GNG. Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:59, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's time to trade up to better sources. Aside from some being pre-internet, I'm shocked they don't exist for an FM radio station in a metro area this large. Nothing here contributes to the GNG. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:52, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG per Astig's argument. Sources mentioned are reliable with some in-depth IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 02:50, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. There is disagreement here over whether sources are sufficient to establish GNG.

Delete - The sources aren't very good at all, mostly blogs -- and even then, those are very light on actual focus on the station -- and when you have to fatten up an article with what basically amounts to a press announcement for ticket sales, you know you're either dealing with thin or incomplete sourcing. A search doesn't reveal much more in the way of actual, significant coverage of this radio station outside of passing mentions. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 07:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, fails WP:GNG. Subject has single mention in all sources cited. Merging it with the parent company article Quest Broadcasting will also amount to nothing becuae this very article does not provide any valuable infortaion so the best option is to delete it.
