Delete. The next set of low power tourist information stations of no reliably sourceable notability. 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) 17:13, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Per above, and poorness of articles. WHATWIKIPEDIAISNOT is a list of tiny radio stations with 30 words each. L3X1 My Complaint Desk 17:29, 4 March 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 be independently notable of the cities, towns, airports, or ferries these stations exist to serve), much less to verify whether they are still operating. (Even then, would there be enough to get any of these articles out of the permastub category all of these TIS station articles more-or-less fall under?). -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  04:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Note: I have replaced two extra mentions of CHBT-FM in the list of articles nominated in this AfD with the apparently-intended CHQI-FM and CHYP-FM. Apologies if this is somehow doing something wrong. -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  04:22, 6 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete all - as per above. CAPTAIN RAJU  (✉)   20:49, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
