As per WP:NOTDIR and related AfD decisions, this is a channel guide for a private company, NOT a list of channels for reference. This is a list which can be accessed by subscribers, so is not WP:USEFUL. Connected nominations to be added in time. doktorb wordsdeeds 04:24, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect all to Bauer Radio per WP:NOTDIR. Merge any reliably sourced information and then redirect. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:10, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * NOTDIR directs us to delete, not merge. It would be appropriate to have a single paragraph article saying "Bauer Radio is such and such", but it must avoid being a list of channels doktorb wordsdeeds 13:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * These are not quite simple directory articles - the articles do also contain historical information about the DAB licensing process, changes of ownership, and previous channels on the multiplexes. Perhaps the DAB licensing information should just be on one page for all the local ensembles, since there seems to be little local distinctiveness in the processes, just different dates...  Also, note that the name "Bauer Central Lancashire" is not a customer-facing one, and I'm not sure that it's possible to tell what channel is on one plex on a radio, so it's not like it's an unnecessary duplication of publicity information.

 * Merge all -- If the radio channels are operating separately under separate local brands, they could each have an article, but I cannot belkeive that we need one on each transmitting station in a network. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:38, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * This article is about neither "radio channels", the brands they operate under, or "transmitting stations in a network". Morwen (Talk) 11:38, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
