87.9 Pride FM

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about an unlicensed radio station, broadcasting only by Part 15 rules and online, which is sourced only to its own self-published content about itself and is the subject of no reliable source coverage that I'm able to locate. Wikipedia's notability standards for radio stations only grant a presumption of notability to radio stations that have a full FCC license — a Part 15 or online startup can still get into Wikipedia if it's the subject of enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG, but is not automatically entitled to an article just because it exists, if its existence can be verified only to itself. Also there's a direct conflict of interest, as the creator's username matches the name of one of the two guys named on the website as the station's operators. Delete.

 * Update: two additional sources have been added, but neither of them assists at all — one only supports the existence of an unrelated but similar radio service while not mentioning this one at all, and the other sources the general details of the FCC's Part 15 rules while again not containing any information about this Part 15 station. So the quality of referencing needed to make this station eligible for a Wikipedia article still is not there. Bearcat (talk) 19:53, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete As much as support of an LGBTQ station in South Carolina is sorely needed, this is a limited station with no FCC backing, which we generally require for an article here.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 14:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Problem so a keep? TV episodes are notable but the radio station is not. This is maddening. It exist. It is not a fake article. Therefore, a keep. It is notable because it is a real station. I kNow abOut bankS (talk) 01:17, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Part 15 stations, which this one is, do not enjoy the same notability under WP:NMEDIA, as full power AM/FM/HD stations do. -  Neutralhomer •  Talk  • 14:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as not yet better convincing for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  03:16, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
