1278 and 1530 AM West Yorkshire

Fails GNG. The article is about "1278 and 1530 AM West Yorkshire was a temporary name used for the AM sister station of The Pulse of West Yorkshire", the "The Pulse of West Yorkshire" redirects to "Pulse 1". This might be a redirect to Pulse 1 or 2 if there is a consensus. Temporary names of ORGs do not merit stand alone articles and are not encyclopedic content. There is no sourced mateial in the article that could be merged.  // Timothy :: talk  02:09, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Merge: Merge with Pulse 2. Rillington (talk) 09:15, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

 * No objection to Merge if sources can be found for the content to be merged; unsourced content cannot be merged into other articles without violating WP:V which is policy. Right now the only source in the article is an air check, merged material needs to be properly sourced and pass V. Without sources for the merge, it should just be be redirected.  // Timothy :: talk  11:29, 11 April 2023 (UTC)


 * I found a source about the 1997 changeover from the closing GYG to GWR's service, though no provisional brand is ever mentioned. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 18:38, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd still suggest that you add the source so that, if the article is merged rather than redirected, the source can be included in the Pulse 2 article. Rillington (talk) 15:58, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rillington I added the source to Pulse 2 itself. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 00:58, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pulse 2. Like Sammi Brie, I can't find any reference/source for this specific name having been used, which means a merge wouldn't be viable. Fails WP:GNG per nom. Flip Format (talk) 17:06, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
 * A local radio station on air as a one-month temporary fill-in station would, at best, struggle to get anywhere near passing the Wikipedia notability test no matter how many independent references were located. Given that User:Sammi Brie and Flip Format have both reported that they have been unable to find any independent references, I am happy to change my vote from Merge to Redirect.

 * Redirect to Pulse 2, its successor. Fails WP:BCAST in its own right. Some of the stuff can be included in the target article. SBKSPP (talk) 06:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
