Delete. While Canadian VF stations formerly had to have full CRTC licenses, making them eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia under the same standards as a full-power station with a real CXXX call sign, they have since become exempt from the licensing requirement and are now equivalent to a Part 15 station in the US. It is now impossible for us to properly verify anything about a VF station -- such as whether it's still operating today, or when it ceased operations if it's not -- in the absence of RS coverage beyond the CRTC authorization alone. And if we can never verify anything about it to expand the article with, then we can't keep the article anymore. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A bit more input would be desirable. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 07:47, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; VF stations do not have the automatic presumption of notability, and on top of the verifiability issues surrounding such stations I cannot find sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. (There's actually nothing about this station out there that doesn't come from either the CRTC or Industry Canada, as best I can tell…) -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  20:31, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Call_signs_in_Canada. Alternatively, create a new VF Radio Stations In Canada (or something like that) and redirect there.  Sounds like it might make an interesting topic.  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:13, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
