The result was keep. Well I'm closing this myself - I had hoped someone would close it for me but doesn't look like that's gonna happen so screw it - Sources have been provided which I'm happy with so I'm wrapping this up. (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 05:23, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

It does not appear to have applied, or been granted, a license for some years and the linked website is broken. JMWt (talk) 09:06, 11 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - The company running the studio was indeed Beaumont Street Studios Ltd (Company number 2189926) as bssonair.co.uk, which was dissolved December 2013, although they ran the station as creativefm.net from 2007, a site now defunct and available, if it ever became the site for the station. There never seems to have been any references for this station, notable or not, so an assumption of not notable and a delete would be appropriate. Acabashi (talk) 03:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Keep and rename to Beaumont Street Studios per the significant coverage in reliable sources. This article can be reworked to be part of an article about Beaumont Street Studios, which has received significant coverage in the BBC, a 2006 book published by Rowman & Littlefield, and Huddersfield Daily Examiner. Information about Creative FM can also be sourced from the BBC and Huddersfield Daily Examiner.  The book notes: "Beaumont Street Studios The neighborhood development approach to community broadcasting can be seen in Huddersfield, a small town in West Yorkshire. Beaumont Street Studios, established in 1985, was initially a response to social problems within the local black community. In its early days, the center offered only sound recording studios and training, but it has now diversified into multimedia, as well as radio and video training and production. Beaumont Street Studios runs short-term radio broacasts—called Creative FM—under the Restricted Service License scheme. The studio is also involved in the New Deal for Musicians and the New Deal for Creative Industries, both New Labour strategies to bring unemployed people back into the labor market... ... Beaumont Street Studios have no core funding and their annual income varies from year to year depending on what funding is available. According to [training manager Jeni] Vine, in the year 1999/2000, the annual income was around half a million pounds. ... The commercial operations include sound studio rental and short-courses for businesses. But the majority of funding comes from grant-based projects, including the New Deal for Musicians."   The article notes: "What do Huddersfield's Town Crier and Embrace, of World Cup song fame, have in common? Well, they are just some of the people who have had doors opened for them by the town's Beaumont Street Studios which is celebrating its 21st birthday! Beaumont Street Studios (BSS) may now be Yorkshire's answer to London's Abbey Road but it began in a very small way. It was set up in 1985 by the Huddersfield West Indian Association. ..." <li></li> <li></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Beaumont Street Studios to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
