WFGM (AM)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Delete. Proposed radio station whose construction permit expired unbuilt, meaning it never met WP:NMEDIA's condition about "established broadcast history" (i.e. actually operating). WP:WPRS has sometimes been lax about that condition, allowing radio station articles to be started as soon as the license approval was granted, but we have to crack down on that — if a station has never launched and never will, it doesn't merit its own article.

 * Delete: Station only existed "on paper" and did not actually broadcast. As such, article does not meet NMEDIA or GNG. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 01:06 on August 14, 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete No notability whatsoever. (In fact, I would have speedily deleted it under CSD A7.) The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 09:17, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; I actually had proposed it for deletion via PROD in 2014 (similarly to this AfD nomination, it was part of a series of proposals to delete articles on stations that never went to air and had their construction permits be allowed to expire unbuilt), but it was contested by the article creator, who said that more info was being sought on the planned station's apparent conflict with an existing station on the same frequency and why the FCC would allow a construction permit that would interfere with that station. Since the removal of the PROD tag, the only two edits before this AfD were by me, and to fix and update the call letters of that other station. After two years, it seems unlikely that anything that will actually establish notability even among never-going-to-launch stations will be added, and since WFGM will never begin broadcasting, the presumption of notability for established/operating broadcast stations will never apply. -- WC  Quidditch  &#9742;   &#9998;  21:37, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
