Voice of Africa FM (Uganda)

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

Non-notable radio station. The sources cited merely document its existence, and a search finds nothing beyond the usual directory listings and social media accounts etc. Fails WP:GNG, the core requirement in WP:NRADIO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Radio, Africa,  and Uganda. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:09, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Return to Draft (Draft:Voice of Africa (Uganda) Note: No FM. ) and SALT. This is not ready for main article space, and the (nearly) sole editor keeps moving it. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:32, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt: Fails WP:GNG. I am not persuaded that the minor claim to notability is sufficient. I am not keen on returning this to Draft. That is simply a 'deletion by the back door' in the case of this article.  🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:53, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * After reading 's plea below to re-visit the article, I have done so. I have assessed the references as they stand currently and regret that I am unable to change my view. I am content to be alerted should better references be found. I emphasise better rather than more. Indeed, fewer references with better quality are more likely to change my mind than a surfeit of references. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:20, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for giving it a look. I'd note that the references added are better (newspapers and a book, as opposed to directory listings and social media accounts) and they're more only because more specific information was added (and thus needed to be sourced). &mdash; Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Draftify (not completely sure about SALTing). (After reworking it some, change !vote to Keep.) A few things do pop up about it in regards to its early funding by Ghaddafi and this article discussing some fallout around the station management after Ghaddafi's death would imply that there likely is other coverage of it out there (probably in offline sources). It needs work (I've added this source and another one about the station's relationship with Islamic musicians), but I think it should pass GNG. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 19:50, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * SALT prevents the user from circumventing the AFC review process. Since the primary author of this article has unilaterally moved this into main article space multiple times, I have no doubt they will continue to do so unless this is SALTed. Likewise, if deleted. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:55, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Understood. &mdash; Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:00, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment per WP:HEY, I've done some reworking of the article (it's still pretty stubby though and needs more work/improvement). Would appreciate those who've !voted taking a second look. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 20:32, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep Meets WP:GNG per Carter's improvements. SBKSPP (talk) 04:44, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. As improved, it needs the requirements. Further objection regarding notability might be construed as indication of Western-centric bias. Doczilla  @SUPERHEROLOGIST 19:43, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
