The Bone Rocks

Hoax article. This radio station does not exists in Metro Manila or anywhere else. Given primary source was a social interaction website (similar to imeem). danngarcia (talk) 06:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC) Keep Not a hoax. See. However, I question the notability of the article. Guy0307 (talk) 07:41, 5 March 2009 (UTC) See later comment
 * Comment I have to doubt the notability of a mention on Friendster.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 08:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. User:Rialbbe also insists it is not a hoax, per his unsigned edit at the article talk page. --Eaglestorm (talk) 12:10, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The DZBN calls are already in use by DZBN (Biñan). I doubt they can be used for two FM entities, so we need someone versed in Filipino radio to help us with this one.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 08:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, only one callsign per station anywhere in the Philippines. – Howard  the   Duck  05:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment a call for some input from someone familiar with radio in Manila has been requested from Wikiproject Philippines --Rtphokie (talk) 16:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I live here in Metro Manila where the station is supposed to be located. I nominated this article for deletion since Metro Manila does not have a radio station assigned to 100.7 MHz since it can conflict to the signal of DZRJ-FM (100.3 MHz) and DWYS (101.1 MHz). I also saw station's official website and it looks more like a personal website.
 * Comment the article does say its a low power station. I'm not familiar with broadcasting in the Philippines, are stations all stations licensed by the government?  Are low-power stations licensed?--Rtphokie (talk) 18:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. I live in Metro Manila and AFAIK, the only possibly licensed radio stations are those that are in increments of 0.8 MHz starting at 87.5 MHz. This is not a deletion reason, but I've never heard of The Bone Rocks. I've heard of URadio 107.9, another mid-powered radio station that is not in the 0.8 MHz-increment and I actually listen to that one, but I'm not 100% sure it's licensed. --seav (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The last I heard about 107.9 was that it was raided by the NTC. – Howard  the   Duck  05:06, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it has been raided 3 times. Also, I think the article (107.9) should be deleted since it has no sources that I can find. (I wish it wouldn't be deleted, but it's just unverifiable.) --seav (talk) 05:17, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, and "somewhere in the metro" further adds doubt to its existence. --Eaglestorm (talk) 02:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: insufficient independent 3rd party coverage. JamesBurns (talk) 07:33, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Something tells me the secrecy implies that it is a pirate radio station that has not yet been legitimized by the National Telecommunications Commission. Although a list of licensed radio stations was once available on the NTC website, I can't seem to find it now. --Sky Harbor (talk) 09:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Even if the article isn't a hoax, it easily fails WP:N. Guy0307 (talk) 02:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
