While licensed broadcast radio stations have long been taken as generally presumed notable, sometimes an article is created for a radio station that is still under construction and not yet licensed. This is often both acceptable and practical but when the station is deleted from the FCC database without ever receiving its broadcast license, any presumption of notability is lost and, unless notability can be otherwise established, the article should be deleted. This is one such case. Dravecky (talk) 06:55, 26 March 2009 (UTC) Reluctant Delete - For the sole reason is that the station's license has been deleted in the FCC database. No station according to the FCC, no need for an article. -  NeutralHomer •  Talk  • March 26, 2009 @ 07:11

 * Comment: If this station had ever been licensed, I would not have nominated it. This is a special case of a planned station that never received an FCC license and thus never crossed that bright line. - Dravecky (talk) 07:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Dravecky's logic is spot on here. It's reasonable to have an article for stations with only construction permits because they nearly always are promoted to full broadcast licenses.  Licensing is time consuming and expensive and rarely results the way this one did (though in this economy we may see more).  The deletion of this station from the FCC DB is all the indication we need that this station is not likely to ever be notable and should be deleted.--RadioFan2 (talk) 12:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Cancelled stations are notable, if they were on the air but surrendered their license because of financial reasons, etc. but this one never went on the air, and all the information I've seen is this was just a paper station and never got past the construction permit phase.

 * Delete - Since this never was a radio station (apparently), then I see nothing notable about it (in a Wikipedia sense). &mdash; LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:42, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
