 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unbelievably, despite the previous AFD having closed just three days ago, I can't speedy this as a recreation of deleted content as it's not about the same radio station -- as soon as the original article was deleted, an editor with the username "DZHH" (note potential WP:COI) swooped back in within the last 24 hours to create a similarly unsourced and unverifiable article about a different station that's purported to currently possess the same callsign as the defunct one. As always, however, per WP:NMEDIA radio stations do not get an automatic presumption of notability just because they're asserted to pass the criteria -- the notability criteria can be and sometimes are falsely claimed for stations that don't actually meet them in reality, so the base criterion that a radio station has to meet to qualify for an article is that the claims of a broadcast license and some original programming are properly verified in reliable sources. This may, in fact, need to be WP:SALTed, as even before the defunct military station was actually deleted there was already a pattern of IP editors trying to hijack its article to be about this purported new station instead -- but without valid sources to properly support that it actually satisfies the notability criteria, it still isn't eligible for one.

 * Thanks, guys. I didn't know all the background information about this editor — I knew we had a problem with Philippine radio hoaxes, but had no knowledge of this specific user. On that basis I'm going to withdraw this and go straight to speedy with a dose of WP:SALT. Bearcat (talk) 01:51, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
