station does not yet exist, article is mostly un-sourced speculation and original research - see WP:BALL Deunanknute (talk) 02:54, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Have to agree; usually I'm all about finessing the info, but for now, everything down to the callsign meaning is complete speculation. It needs to actually come to the air before we can call this notable. Nate • (chatter) 05:13, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Userfy – According to the criteria in WP:BROADCAST we can't tell if a station is notable until we know the programming. But the author has created many good articles on TV stations and will no doubt do a good job with this one too, once it comes on air. – Margin1522 (talk) 09:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Not sure if it's relevant for others, but I've noticed that the FCC issued the station's license on January 23rd. Mlaffs (talk) 02:07, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Userfy - Since the station is currently under construction, and there's a lot of unknowns regarding the station, it'd be better if the article was userfied. I'm not 100% sure if it fails WP:BALL --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Userfy and/or Redirect to DTV America, which I just created. I could also say to redirect to network it carries, but not even the article's editors seem to know if the station is on the air, let alone what programming it carries. This isn't separately notable and probably won't be. License issued 2015-01-23 (BLDTL-20150112ACO), but no coverage at all on Google News, and I haven't even found any mention on Google other than mere station lists, Wikipedia mirrors, and references to other stations with no relation (e.g. now-WKLV-FM or West Shore High School's internal TV station): "WCTZ" -"WCTZ-FM" -WLEX -"an upcoming low-powered" -"first ever Spanish-language television station" -"News Now" -"West Shore" -1550 -Manhasset -"Port Chester" -"New York". And there is no evidence that it will ever become separately notable: DTV America's stations seem to be purely pass-through transmitters for minor networks, and this station is an LPTV that's not even a Class A television service, so it's not even required to produce local content. What research I've been able to dig up points to most DTV America stations being translator stations in practice, even if not officially by license. Unlike stations that are major network affiliates or originate their own programs, there isn't much chance of this subject receiving news coverage besides some rehash of launch-related press releases, if that. --Closeapple (talk) 10:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
