Should be merged to WMVP
The situation as it is now is causing content duplication, which the project has a standard for (to avoid exactly this situation). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Radio_Stations#Modifying_article_titles_for_stations_that_change_their_call_signs :

"Move (rename) the article to the current call sign, since the old call sign may subsequently be reassigned to a new station, keeping the old name as a redirect. In addition, all links to the station's old call sign should now point towards the new article name."

There's no question that WMVP is "the same station" as WCFL; it was simply sold to another party and changed its call letters, which is common. In these circumstances, WCFL's portion of history is placed inside the page for WMVP, and the WCFL disambiguation page just points directly to WMVP. When this is done properly according to the project's standards, it is still trivial to find (any) WCFL through the years by going to the disambiguation page and choosing the right one there.

The fame of a station in its 'golden years' and its call sign at that time is irrelevant to what article name it should get, which is always its newest callsign. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WPLJ, which (for example) is not 'WABC-FM'. Skybunny (talk) 22:44, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
