Delete. Cleanup of various old lingering articles about radio stations that are not compliant with Wikipedia's contemporary rules about the notability of radio stations. These were acceptable at the time they were created, but WP:NMEDIA has since been tightened up in various ways which now preclude them: NMEDIA explicitly states that tourist information stations are not automatically presumed notable anymore just because their CRTC license verifies that they exist, and WP:BCASTOUTCOMES explicitly deprecates "stations with VF# call signs in Canada" as not inherently notable. In fact, due to a change in CRTC regulations, VF stations are now exempt from having to have a CRTC license at all anymore, and are thus now even more equivalent to USian Part 15 stations than they used to be (and no, Part 15s don't get automatic notability either) — for one thing, a station like this can now go out of operation without us ever being able to verify that in order to keep the article current and accurate, because they have no obligation to inform the CRTC that they've ceased broadcasting and they're rarely if ever the subject of any significant coverage anywhere else. So, again, they were acceptable at the time — but under the rules that pertain now, they aren't anymore. Bearcat (talk) 17:07, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. None of these appear to be individually notable on their own. No chance of ever growing past a sub-stub. -- &oelig; &trade; 18:14, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all; there is no presumption of notability for travelers information stations, and VF stations are not inherently notable either, especially since many of them are now exempt from CRTC licensing. These types of stations will almost never be significant enough to receive sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline — or to be anything other than a permastub. While they appear to still need Industry Canada approval on the technical side, that only proves that they exist on paper; as they are exempt from CRTC licensing, they are effectively non-notable unlicensed low-power stations whose operation and actual on-air existence are practically unverifiable. -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  21:44, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all - No reliable sources and no notability. -- Dane 2007  talk 19:05, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
