Sidewalk Radio

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a radio show on a station (WMLB) which has since changed formats to conservative talk. There have been no new editions of this show since 2015 as its host station has ended programming. Article does not cite any external or independent sources and appears to be WP:COI. Flip Format (talk) 12:17, 17 January 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Redirect to WMLB, its home station. Fails WP:RPRGM per nom. SBKSPP (talk) 01:59, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete. Radio shows are not automatically notable just because their own self-published web presence technically verifies that they exist; the notability test is in the depth and quality of the media coverage, in sources other than itself, that can be shown to demonstrate that its significance has been externally validated (noteworthy awards, analysis of its cultural impact, etc.) by people without a vested interest in promoting it. But there are no independent sources here, nor am I seeing a reason why the show would even be quasi-notable enough to warrant retaining a redirect. But I won't fight a redirect if somebody wants to close it that way anyway, so don't deem this "no consensus" on my account: the overridingly important thing here is to make the standalone article go away by whatever means are available.

 * Delete Likely a brokered programming show, and redirecting it to the WMLB article which now has a complete 180º in their programming format (starring the 'Godzilla of Truth') would be pointless and confusing.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 04:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Redirect to WMLB: Barely found anything about the radio show. It doesn't matter if the station has reformatted or not or whether the show is station-produced or a blocktimer. Since the show was aired only on the said station, redirecting the show to the target article is the best WP:ATD to go. ASTIG️🎉  (HAPPY 2022) 13:29, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
