WRNY (AM)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable radio station. Sources provided only prove existence, the rest of the article fails WP:V. Mr.  Z- man  05:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - The station has a license, the station is notable. If this station article is deleted, it opens a "can of worms" for ever station article, including the big ones. -  NeutralHomer  T:C 05:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per above. Licensed radio station. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, per above -- if you get rid of this, then you must get rid of ALL radio and TV articles. Wikipedia should cover all stations, not just the big or popular stations. -- azumanga (talk) 06:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Rjd0060. Maxamegalon2000 06:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - It's an FCC-licensed radio station. - Dravecky (talk) 07:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above -- Anonymous Dissident  Talk 10:12, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The station has a license, the station is notable. Hammer1980 ·talk 12:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Its a valid article. scope_creep (talk) 12:38, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Licensed radio stations are inherently notable. --Rtphokie (talk) 13:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Whoo a licensed radio station that doesn't make it inherently notable that just proves that the FCC said they can broadcast. Other than the FCC part this article doesn't pass WP:V at all. No sources saying how it is notable at all. Just another run of the mill radio station.  Whispe ring  13:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep (edit conflict) - As above, the stations has a licence with the FCC and therefore is notable. This nomination, should it succeeded, would have significant implications for all radio and television articles, either large or small on Wikipedia. I could imagine the BBC World Service, Voice of America or WRN could be nominated for deletion if this passes (no joke). --tgheretford (talk) 13:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Size or popularity is not a useful measurement to use when determining the notability of a radio station. Makes perfect sense to me to be comprehensive and cover all licensed stations. - Mgm|(talk) 16:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I may be wrong, but aren't all FCC licenced stations inherently notable per consensus? Ten Pound Hammer  • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep There is no reason to remove it. It's also notable. --businessman332211 (talk) 17:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
