Halifax transmitting station

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Another small television/radio relay station serving parts of Halifax, West Yorkshire. Article is entirely made up of WP:OR and cites no sources. Links go to general lists of these stations, of which thousands exist. No assertion of notability, WP:BEFORE reveals no significant coverage of this specific transmitter to justify it being the subject of its own article. WP:NOTDIR of radio transmitters and frequencies.

Comment: Source analysis, including the sources added by the IP today:
 * Delete per nom. Anorak interests should not be over-represented on a general encyclopaedia.  RobinCarmody (talk) 19:00, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree totally with this notion as I don't consider information about television transmitters to be an anorak interest as the article is adding to people's knowledge of the UK's broadcasting infrastructure.
 * Weak keep Halifax is a large town and a transmitter serving a large conurbation makes it much more notable than other transmitter articles that Flip Format has nominated for discussion. That said the article could do with being improved and more up-to-date references added.Rillington (talk) 00:32, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect. Redirect to Emley Moor transmitting station to preserve article history. It's included in a list of relay stations there. Tend to agree with the nominator this is WP:NOTDIRECTORY territory. No assertion of notability. Doesn't need a separate article. Rupples (talk) 18:23, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Retain Article.
 * With a bare miniimum of effort, several sources and information about how Halifax Transmitting Station broadcasts regional stations to over 12,000 people were able to be found.
 * Just because prior editors couldn't put in the effort, does not mean sources and valuable services & information about this national communication infrastructure can't be found.
 * Keep. 79.70.70.215 (talk) 13:38, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * They don't discuss the site at length and aren't really helping prove GNG. See the chart below. Oaktree b (talk) 15:36, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete Agree with the assessment above. It's a utilitarian tower, not unlike hundreds of others. In no way a historic structure. The sources above are pretty much useless in proving notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:38, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
