Contested redirect - not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:21, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Mississippi. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 11:26, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge Certainly not notable on its own as a Cozi passthrough; I'm proposing we merge this, WHCQ-LD, and WEBU-LD into one article titled Ellington Broadcasting, but the problem is the company's entire history involves passing through subchannel networks, and not a minute of original broadcasting from a studio in Mississippi. I'll listen to others to see what they think if the merge is strong enough. Nate • (chatter) 23:19, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• As I was unaware of the heavy self-promotion through these pages and COI, switch to delete. And feel free to add those other two articles to this nom or in their own nom. Nate • (chatter) 20:33, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  For what it's worth, Mvcg66b3r (talk · contribs) has already nominated WHCQ-LD and WEBU-LD for deletion over the same GNG and COI issues being raised here. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:56, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: A station largely serving as a pass-through for national programming probably won't get over the GNG hump. Any merger into a single Ellington Broadcasting article probably wouldn't fix that — and it certainly would not rectify the COI issues the stations' articles have — the original creator back in 2007 was Dellington (talk · contribs) (and that original revision noted David Ellington as the station owner), and a key contributor in recent years has been Whcq (talk · contribs) — when one of the stations is, indeed, WHCQ-LD.

• Delete Obvious GNG fail. Diginet coatrack. The only appropriate ATD would be a redirect to list. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
