 * Delete. Radio stations are not automatically presumed notable just because they have their own self-published websites — people have created fake web content for the purposes of "verifying" a hoax topic into Wikipedia, and internet radio stations with no inherent notability have branded themselves to create the appearance of broadcasting on real terrestrial radio, so the website does not in and of itself prove that the station actually passes WP:NMEDIA's conditions for the notability of a radio station. And further, the website is actually quite strange in a number of ways ("This is CHILTAN FM 88 NETWORK, a rich featured, epic, mature and premium work, destined for the typical modern website that needs to stand out.") that aren't adequately explained as a mere translation issue — and there's also a conflict between this article, which claims an ERP of just one kilowatt, and the website, which claims a broadcast range of over 300 kilometres. Even if this is a real terrestrial radio station those two claims cannot both be true — a 1KW transmitter does not get you a 300 km range, especially when there are mountains nearby — and the inability to properly verify which one is true and which one isn't is precisely the problem. The base notability criteria for radio stations, for the record, do require some kind of reliable sourcing to support them, and are not passed just because they're asserted to have been passed — there doesn't have to be a ton of sourcing before we can deem a radio station notable, but there does have to be more than none.
