KZCZ-LD

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

KZCZ-LD is apparently a small television station that meets neither WP:CORP or WP:BROADCAST. The references are primary except for RabbitEars which, as a comprehensive database, establishes only that it exists, not that it is notable. I can find no evidence of notability in reliable third party publications, nor original programming output. BC108 (talk) 19:29, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BCASTOUTCOMES. It airs four networks and is FCC-licensed. Alot of these DTV America stations exist only to carry the networks others wouldn't or as spectrum license bait that will provide more of a public service sending out mobile signals than they are now airing little-remembered sitcoms, Court TV orphans and 70's action offal, but there's no need for more than the basics here.

 * Which part of WP:BCASTOUTCOMES are you referring to? BC108 (talk) 08:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * "Licensed radio and TV stations are generally kept as notable if they broadcast over the air and originate at least a portion of their programming schedule in their own studios." Station identification meets the merest mention of 'portion of their programming schedule in their own studios', and they broadcast over the air.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 19:27, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Logos, continuity etc. cannot be considered "programming" and clearly are not what is meant as programming in that sentence. According to the referenced Rabbit Ears listing (and contrary to the article content) the station isn't on air so there won't even be any Station identification anyway.

 * Keep per - All US stations are kept per WP:NMEDIA & WP:Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:58, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Fucksake I give up .... The link Nate posted is what I was trying to refer too, I dunno why it's not linking properly!, – Davey 2010 Talk 02:01, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * But WP:BCASTOUTCOMES does not say that all US stations are kept - far from it; it cites some that are generally notable; it cites others that are not generally notable and others that should redirect. BC108 (talk) 13:50, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Usually that refers to shopping/religious translators that are usually redirected to their parent network's article from my experience. The few stations that are deleted are usually unambiguous 'infomercial pipe' stations or those who barely stay on the air using public domain films and series and are just on as spectrum/larger broadcaster bait. This has four originated networks, and DTV America has made some noise about eventually adding some local shows to their stations, but those plans haven't panned out yet; it's impossible to have a four-pronged RD to the four network articles and also keep this station's info in them.
