Another Philippines radio station whose history and existence are only cited to government documents with no other sourcing provided that clearly fails the WP:GNG. Maybe redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation, but they also lease out the station to someone else. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:12, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I am going to make a comment and sound a bit like a broken record in the process. For just shy of four years at various AfD nominations, I have pleaded with Philippines radio and TV topic area editors to up their game, asking for their three best sources, pleading with them to read the room and add more references, begging for higher source quality, hoping they will wait for a TV station to become notable before writing an article on it, and so on, and all my pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Again, I exhort the people who work on these pages to get serious about either improving the quality of the sourcing in these articles or developing a plan to cull them when they can't meet the GNG. I understand and sympathize with the problems about source availability and even reliability, particularly for pre-internet topics. But what we have now will not fly on this project, and the fact that new pages continue to be hurtled into the sun with not even the slightest sense that something has changed is concerning.

• Redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation – There doesn't seem to be significant coverage in reliable sources, but DXXM is very briefly included in the other article, so a redirect might be helpful. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 08:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete per nom. The suggested redirect target seems to have problematic sources as well. --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:30, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Note: I just added a source to the redirect target, but it’s rather trivial coverage, so Lenticel's point still stands PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 20:01, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect as suggested. I just spent 29 days in the Philippines, and I was able to use their version of Google easily, even with spotty Wifi. I know the good folks are busy and hardworking and when they're not working they're hosting family reunions, but in agreement with Sammi Brie, editors with specific interests need to up their game.

• Delete . Clearly fails GNG. Sources are mostly primary or trivial. Rahmatula786 (talk) 05:15, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation. It said that DXXM is a call sign for "Lite FM Carmen" whatever it is, and this is unref/unverifiable either, but I did find a source about DXXM for it and fixed the content. --Altenmann >talk 05:28, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm not being silly, I'm addressing my own personal experience with researching Philippines sources, which tend to be hidden from Google. I discovered this when writing Blumea balsamifera, Carbon Market, and Philippine energy law. That's why I rely heavily on the relevant WikiProject, because they have expertise in diving into the deep end of the Internet on topics like this. Bearian (talk) 10:40, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Subic Broadcasting Corporation. There are some not great sources in the Subic Broadcasting Corporation article. If more sources for the DXXM article are found later, it can be changed from a redirect back to an article. - tucoxn\^talk 11:49, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
