 * It doesn't appear to have been deleted to me... The article seems to have a point to me, though could maybe be merged into some other article. mattbuck 12:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Correction: Was speedy-delete-tagged "This article is totally pointless.". Anthony Appleyard 16:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES: "Licensed radio and TV stations are notable if they broadcast over the air and originate at least a portion of their programming schedule in their own studios." Since notability is not temporary, the fact that the station is off the air should be irrelevant. Smashville —Preceding comment was added at 16:34, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * weak Keep. no longer broadcasts. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  18:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If a presently licensed and operating radio station is inherently notable, then the "non-temporary" nature of Wikipedia notability should extend to one whic apparently was on the air from 1949 to 1987 or so. (I suppose by the same argument, if every inhabited hamlet is notable, then ghost towns or vanished and plowed-over hamlets are notable too.) Edison 19:24, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In an historical swense, yes. And as you say, Wikipedia is timelss. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  19:19, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Licensed full-power broadcast stations are notable and notability is not temporary. DHowell 21:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
