KISS-FM (brand)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nothing but a list of stations that call themselves "Kiss". Any sign of notability, such as the lawsuits, is completely unsourced. Article has been tagged for improvement since 2007 and nothing's happened. A search on Google Books found only directory listings and copies of the Wikipedia article.

 * Comment Coverage, not article quality, determines notability. I've added sources for Cleveland "KISS" brand fight in late 90s.   Levdr1 lp  /  talk  22:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Which is only WP:LOCAL, and about those individual stations, not the brand as a whole. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:13, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * This subject is not limited to a single radio station, or even a single radio market. And there is nothing local about a media giant like Clear Channel either bringing or threatening legal action against multiple radio companies in multiple media markets over exclusive use of an on-air brand.  The subject is clearly national, even international, in scope.  I have also addressed, at least partially, one of your original concerns ("any sign of notability... is completely unsourced").  I would assume that with a little digging, one could also easily find reliable sources on the Chicago, DC, and Bakersfield cases.   Levdr1 lp  /  talk  15:20, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
