WQQW → WQQW (Illinois) – Now that there are two AM radio stations whose licenses have been cancelled by the FCC under the WQQW call sign (we already have WQQW (Connecticut)), I'm not entirely sure there is a primary topic for "WQQW" anymore.

Move per nom. The current arrangement made sense when WQQW Illinois was still active — but now that they're both defunct, and a new radio station could now take the WQQW calls tomorrow if it wanted them, the one in Illinois can't keep primary topic rights anymore.

Unnecessary....for now: Unless there is another station that is already requesting the WQQW callsign, this station is the "current" holder of the callsign. Bearcat: WP:CRYSTAL comes into effect here since we don't know if another station will request the callsign tomorrow. Though, if a station requests the callsign in the future, I will support the move wholeheartedly. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:46 on March 24, 2020 (UTC)
Support. No way is this the primary topic. Best to just set up a two-way DAB at the base name for now IMO. Andrewa (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Support this suggestion.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support rename and make "WQQW" a disambiguation page: Since full-time WQQW (Connecticut) had that callsign for 20 years, it's unlikely that this daytime-only Illinois station, that used the callsign for only 10 years, is the primary topic. Per WP:PARENDIS, we should use parenthetical qualifiers only if no other better form of qualification exists. This Highland IL station has 2 former callsigns, WINU and WDID: But WINU is a current station, and WDID has been used for three other stations in the past (WTIM (AM) Assumption IL, WDID-LP Savannah GA, and its sort-of successor WDID-LP Savannah GA); therefore, there is no former callsign for which this Highland IL station is primary topic either. --Closeapple (talk) 23:08, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
