Q102 (Pirate Station)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

non-notable pirate radio station; totally unsourced Rapido (talk) 18:26, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 *  Keep . Sources were found by searching for "xfm q102". It's notable because it was the forerunner to radio station XFM ("voted one of Britain's top 10 coolest brands") and was the first UK indie rock station, unusual enough that according to one of the sources it "attracted the interest of The Cure's singer, Robert Smith, and manager, Chris Parry, who were frustrated at the lack of anything resembling the college radio that they admired in America".

 * Comment - It only seems notable for XFM (and the references you added pertain to XFM, not Q102 - and typically only mention Q102 once), therefore the information can be competently covered in the XFM article. It does not seem a notable pirate radio station in itself. Rapido (talk) 22:32, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's an argument for merging the articles then redirecting, not deletion. Holly25 (talk) 22:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Not really, because you gave the references, which is why I suggested adding something about Q102 in the XFM article (a sentence should do it). But in my opinion, this article should be deleted for failing WP:N. Rapido (talk) 22:48, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge to Xfm; the references discuss this particular station quite briefly. Werner Heisenberg (talk) 05:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
