Per WP:NRADIO, radio stations must meet WP:GNG. With a WP:BEFORE, I am seeing no evidence to suggest this station is notable. There is a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 20:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Radio and Georgia (U.S. state). Schminnte (talk • contribs) 20:24, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect to list. I asked the contributor, who reverted my move to redirect this page to the Georgia state radio list, to please justify why this station met the GNG. That sourcing has not come and frankly is highly unlikely to be out there. List of radio stations in Georgia (U.S. state) can and should have this as a line item and nothing more.

• Delete: Our notability standards for broadcast stations have tightened considerably in the last five years or so, if not since the two years following this RfC. (Which was a correction — this topic area in general has not exactly been the gold standard for compliance with certain policies and guidelines.) There may still be people who think having a license is enough to give a station "notability", based on past versions of the NMEDIA essay (not guideline) and BCASTOUTCOMES — but notability actually requires reliable sources, just as it does anywhere else on Wikipedia. (I'm always wary of proposing any redirects as an alternative to deletion because of how easy it is — even for editors who don't have the ability to actually create articles yet — to revert against consensus.)

• Delete - I couldn't find any refs that would prove notability. I also searched for "Nelson Rodriguez"+radio+christian with no luck (Rodriguez is the station owner). There is one lengthy reliable source - a dispute involving the FCC and interference from another radio station, but I don't think it establishes notability.
