Non-notable show on a low-power radio station (which are generally regarded as being non-notable). Only one of the references is valid. Written in a very promotional style. dramatic (talk) 18:11, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge to an article about the low power FM station. Lacks multiple reliable and independent sources with significant coverage, so fails notability. This seems to be part of a walled garden of articles related to the host of the show, Gary McIlroy (Radio Presenter), the low power FM station which seems to have only a 5 km radius of transmission, Good Music 107.5FM, and the organization operating the station, Radio La Famia. Merge them into one article about the station and then see if there is enough notability, or if not put it through AFD as well. The defacto notability standard for a radio station in numerous previous AFDs has boiled down to governmental licensing and the local origination of a portion of its own programming. A temporary or hobby license in some country might fall below the "licensing" standard.  No link is provided to any government database to show that the transmitter is licensed in any way. No information is provided about the transmitting power: a 5 watt low powered FM transmitter would not be very impressive in general.  A hobby operation run out of a garage by five volunteers, with an unknown small audience, has no inherent notability. The only reference I saw of any significance was a TV story stating that they were in danger of getting prosecuted for misoperation of the transmitter which interfered with police and emergency radios, and that might be disregarded under WP:NOTNEWS.

 * I hadn't noticed that the previously-deleted (via Prod) article on Gary McIlroy has been recreated - will AFD that and the station too. There's nothing unique about it, in fact it competes with Radio Ferrymead, a higher powered volunteer station playing similar content which has been running much longer, plus with commercial easy listening stations. Christchurch has a very fractured radio market with about 30 stations for a population of 350,000. dramatic (talk) 03:43, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
