List of classic rock radio stations

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete per Wikipedia not directory. Radio stations change formats, this list is very hard to maintain. randomly going through the list I can find stations that have changed format and are no longer classic rock. The only way to maintain this would be to check the website of every station listed. Ridernyc (talk) 21:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC) *Keep If the radio stations are notable  and their format can be demonstrated then the list is appropriate. A list of notable things is not indiscriminate. NOTDIRECTORY only prohibits unselective lists. Difficulties in editing can be dealt with by editing.

 * Delete per nom saying Wikipedia isn't a directory. Plus we have Category:Classic rock radio stations which is sufficient. C T J F 8 3  chat 22:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Yet another directory listing on Wikipedia, despite WP:NOT supposedly being one.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 23:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete This particular list has too broad of a topic to build up a detailed analysis of the list itself, so it violates WP:SALAT. This also goes against NOTDIRECTORY due to the lack of encyclopedic material that holds together the individual entities. Really, how much can we possibly say about how ROCK 101 in Vancouver compares with 96.3 Rock Radio in Glasgow, or the relationships between the rest of these stations?

 * "Delete' For all the same reasons as above. Besides, they forgot the station in MY town!  LOL! (But that is part of the problem, who wants all these entries?)   Montanabw (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete hard to maintain such a list and has no encyclopedic value. andyzweb (talk) 15:00, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete given that radio stations change their format all the time, the category is better. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY I just dont see how thos list can be expressed as something else besides a directory. Ottawa4ever (talk) 11:14, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I also like the category reason above, if it doesnt exist i would support that Ottawa4ever (talk) 11:16, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
