Giyani Community Radio

This article has been speedily deleted three times. Time to bring it to a discussion and gain consensus. Local organization and radio station which does not meet WP:GNG, WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:BROADCAST.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:25, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: Still no significant coverage. SL93 (talk) 18:15, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Second source (Limpopo Mirror) is reliable and there are other sources such as Letaba Herald which cover the subject in depth. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 01:31, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The SandDoctor  Talk 16:01, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete This is borderline. There is a single source in the article that might be independent and significant, and I see a couple more trivial mentions online, but almost all of what I see is self promotion. Rockphed (talk) 19:12, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
 *  Week Keep. WP:BCAST argues for stations being notable for, being the originator of some programming which this station seems to be.  The Limpopo Mirror and Letaba Herald  references, while largely quotes from the station representative, seems like solid sources.  Most of the other sources are crap (facebook, their own website, etc), but I'm willing to give this a grudging week keep.  Much of the article itself is trivia and statistics, which need to be cut out, possibly to the point of WP:TNT.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:05, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Found some more reasonable looking sources:
 * SA Government News Agency
 * SIGNIS
 * Far North Bulletin
 * This seems like more than enough. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:53, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

To address the sources (provided by RoySmith) above, they don't mention the radio station as anything special only speaking of community radio as a whole with mentions of the radio station. The third source mentioned above is a bit more promising, but I feel it is the same to my argument at number 2.

 * Week Keep per above.  The topic additionally may by notable per BCAST as it covers a wide geographic area, the Mopani district has more than a million people in it.  There appears to be few stations serving these language groups, and therefore it is likely to significantly impact culture.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:02, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete weakly sourced:
 * 1-Facebook, not a WP:RS
 * 2-Limpopo Mirror, although somewhat reliable, it is a minor and local media company
 * 3-minor site which covers dozens of small radio stations, no indication of notability here
 * 4-primary source
 * 5-considering I wasn't allowed to access the site because it wasn't secure, I don't think it is a WP:RS. If it is please do say as this is presumptuous from me
 * 6-I don't really know? A website trying to sell me a magazine by the looks of it.
