 * Merge I think the most appropriate course of action would be to merge this article with its owner/operator, University of Northwestern - St Paul. Dolotta (talk) 23:42, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Looking carefully at this whole cluster of articles, it would appear that this whole network consists of one originating station (KTIS in Minneapolis) and a bunch of translator stations that just repeat network programming without originating any new programming of their own; only one of said stations includes or sources any indication that it ever had its own standalone history prior to becoming a repeater of Faith Radio. (The others may also, I don't know, but their articles certainly aren't saying or sourcing that they did.) But one of the conditions for a radio station to have its own standalone article per WP:NMEDIA is that it originates some of its own programming in its own studios — a station that exists only as a satellite-fed repeater of another station gets a redirect to its programming source, not a standalone article, so those rebroadcasters have to be redirected to wherever the content about their programming source ends up. Accordingly, one possible course of action here would be to merge this with KTIS (AM) at one title or the other, with all of the "affiliate" stations except WNWW, the one which actually documents a pre-Faith history, also redirected to that title, and the other possible course of action would be merging to the university per Dolotta — although I'd prefer the first option since the rebroadcasters are almost all in towns nowhere near the university and mostly not even in the same state, and thus redirecting them there would distort their context. But either way, we definitely don't need seven separate articles about one satellite-fed broadcasting service. Bearcat (talk) 16:12, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
