CKYZ-FM

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. WP:TOOSOON article about a radio station which began airing a test signal in 2016, but which is not properly sourceable as having officially launched its permanent signal as of today. Per WP:NMEDIA, however, a radio station does not get an article as long as it's still only planned or testing -- the time for an article is once reliable sources can be added which confirm that the station has officially and permanently taken to the airwaves, not the moment it gets a license or starts testing. (The testing phase can, for example, reveal unforeseen problems, such as interference with another station or with radio communication infrastructure at the airport — see CHNO-FM if you don't believe me on that one — which complicate or postpone or completely kibosh the real launch.) No prejudice against recreation if and when it's properly sourceable as having permanently launched, but radio stations that are still only in the testing phase don't get advance articles on Wikipedia anymore.

 * Delete Going by just WP:GNG this radio station fails the notability criteria completly. A short news article on a local news website for its possible launch is definitely not enough. Apart from that there is absolutly nothing on them out there, except for some appearances in a few radio station listings. Its not even clear if this radio station has actually started broadcasting. Since there are no sources on them out there, this article will never have more content than CKYZ-FM is a radio station which exists. There is no direct SNG for radio stations, imo the failure at WP:GNG alone should be a sufficent argument to delete the article. There is an essay at WP:NMEDIA. It says: Notability can be established by either a large audience, established broadcast history, or unique programming. There is no evidence that any of that is true for this station. Therefore I think the article should be deleted. Of course if they time meet the notability criteria at some future point, it can be recreated. Dead Mary (talk) 09:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
