Delete. Proposed radio station which is technically still licensed but has never actually broadcast a signal, meaning it still has not met met WP:NMEDIA's condition about "established broadcast history" (i.e. actually operating). WP:WPRS has sometimes been lax about that condition, allowing radio station articles to be started as soon as the license approval was granted, but we have to crack down on that — if a station has not yet actually launched, then it doesn't merit its own article until it does.

Reluctant Delete: This station does, in fact, have a license and has received a license to cover, but has never broadcast. The station was taken silent as soon it received it's license to cover. Meaning the owners of the station never broadcast a thing. Unfortunately, the page meets part of NMEDIA. Per TOOSOON, the page should be deleted until it has begun broacasting. At that time, it will fully meet NMEDIA (and GNG). This is not that time. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:10 on August 14, 2016 (UTC)
Weak delete; the station is licensed, but its broadcast history has been limited at most, as it seems to have spent the bulk of its time off the air. Its most recent request to again go silent says that the ownership has been hesitant to actually launch its two silent Wyoming stations because delays in obtaining license renewal have led to "uncertainty as to the stations' underlying viability." While they insist that "this is not the start of another long term silent period", until the station actually launches it fall short of being established enough to qualify for the presumed notability of broadcast stations, and it's too soon to tell if indeed KWXR launches before a different type of deletion comes into play — the potential of the FCC canceling their license. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 03:47, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; As the above have mentioned the station never went on the air at any point to make it noteworthy. If the station actually does start broadcasting we can always recreate it with citations ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk • _{I DX for fun!} 05:47, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
