This seems to fail WP:GNG and my BEFORE fails to find anything but few passing mentions. A PROD was declined with a suggestion to redirect, but I can't figure out which article would be best. Feel free to suggest a redirect target, but in the current state, this needs to go (or be improved, if anyone can find sources & time to invest in this).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to Radio_Network_Controller, where it is briefly discussed and showing its place in the context of other cellular telecommunications standards. The source cited in the article is a 3GPP standard first created in 1999 and updated until the present. International standards like this are reliable sources because they have been vetted by many contributors. It is also covered in books, such as in a chapter in a UMTS textbook and a page of description in the book Introduction to 3G Mobile Communications. These two books seem enough coverage to pass notability threshold, so I'd be fine with a 'keep' as well. The current state of the article is somewhat elliptical, so it may be better for our readers to redirect to another article where the protocol is briefly discussed and is placed in context. -- 09:59, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
