Delete. Another batch of low-power tourist information stations of no reliably sourceable notability (and yes, there will be more of these coming to AFD still.) WP:NMEDIA explicitly deprecates this class of radio station as not inherently notable, except in the rare instance that it actually passes WP:GNG. We formerly had a practice of exempting Canadian TIS stations from getting deleted on that basis, because they had to possess CRTC licenses just like any other radio station and were thus sourceable to at least some of the same types of sources that we permit in other radio station articles -- but as of 2013, the CRTC revised its policies and TIS stations are now exempt from having to have licenses at all anymore. As a result, it is no longer verifiable whether any of these stations is still operational or not: reliable media sources don't cover them and the CRTC doesn't have to issue license renewals, so we have no way to determine whether any of these is still operating, if it went defunct then when or why, or anything else about it. And if we can't verify it anymore, then we can't keep it anymore. Bearcat (talk) 22:21, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom/Bearcat. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:27, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete all; there's no presumption of notability for tourist information stations, licensed or not, and it seems unlikely that any of these stations will ever attain the coverage in reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline, much less to verify whether they are still operating (and the CFWJ-FM, CFDT-FM, and CFDK-FM articles in particular all claim, apparently without sources, that those stations are off the air — with the latter two articles even admitting that the launch dates for those two stations are unknown, further indicating the relatively-unverifiable nature of these stations' operations). -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  03:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete: Agree with nom/Bearcat. - Ret.Prof (talk) 16:30, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
