WHOA-LP

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Station was only on paper and was never launched (ie: took to the airwaves). As such, the station (and by extension this article), does not enjoy the notability that other radio station articles do under GNG, NMEDIA and consensus.

 * Delete per nom. I can imagine a "special case" scenario where a station which was licensed, but never actually launched and thus had its license expire unbuilt, might still get over WP:GNG for something (e.g. it was at the core of a massive controversy about the licensing), but no evidence has been shown that this would be the case here — and radio stations that never actually broadcast at all do not get an automatic inclusion freebie under WP:NMEDIA.

 * Comment: Yeah, this is one of those special cases. Page was created before the station was launched, so it didn't meet NMEDIA and GNG.  Dravecky and Mlaffs have nom'd a couple paper-only stations before.  That's why when a station is launched, we don't create the page for it until that day. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 23:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
