The result was keep. Had I spotted the book mentions sooner I would've closed this alot sooner, Meh books & that one source is better than nothing I guess (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 05:59, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Well there's no time like the present!, Prev AFD was closed as No Consensus about 10 minutes and as nothing from the last AFD's changed I'm renominating, Non notable radio station, Can't find anything on this station at all, Fails GNG. – Davey 2010 Talk 01:24, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Really, again? Keep per Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes. "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," and for coverage like this, which was rather easily found.

 * - It was closed as No Consensus with "no prejudice against speedy renomination" so therefore I'm entitled to nominate quickly and well when I want...., BroadcastMedia is an essay not policy and if they were kept per that then all of my AFDs would've been closed per that...., The source is more or less a mention but hey if you can find anything better I'd happily withdraw. – Davey 2010 Talk 13:22, 26 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep OFCOM license, mentioned in media, etc. JMWt (talk) 09:43, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Shawn in Montreal's points. --Arxiloxos (talk) 18:57, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * - As I said directly above Radio stations aren't ever kept per BroadcastMedia (American stations are but UK ones aren't) and the source provided is pretty poor but if you can find something that can prove the station's actually notable then I'd happily withdraw. – Davey 2010 Talk 19:18, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you point us to a consensus that the usual WP:OUTCOMES and WP:BROADCAST standards don't apply in the UK? In my experience the usual criteria (licensed, over-the-air, and content originating) have worked very well to maintain encyclopedic coverage of broadcast outlets while reducing wasted efforts at AfD. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:17, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I perhaps should've worded that better but I've noticed some US radio stations are kept per BM whereas the UK ones are deleted (It doesn't happen with every US station but it seems to happen with most), I've nominated a ton of these over November and half I've Speedy Kept/Withdrawn and the rest being deleted and apart from this AFD I don't think Broadcast Media was even mentioned in them, To be absolutely honest It seems people believe there is a consensus and others don't so I have no idea if there's an actual consensus or not (I'm going with not as most uk ones have been deleted), Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 20:51, 26 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Google Books search mentions indicate significance, but not much in terms of reliable sources, however, it looks like there's enough published information for an article. Peter James (talk) 04:17, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
