Non-notable student radio station, does not meet WP:GNG and cannot be considered under WP:BCAST. Raymie (t • c) 07:45, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm sorry, but this isn't a radio station, it's simply a student club that is FALSELY branding itself a radio station. Radio stations are notable due to the extensive paperwork required to have a broadcast license. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Additional problem: simce the children behind this club have usurped a valid call sign to brand the little meaningless game they are playing, at some point, this title will be a legit radio station that has nothing whatsoever to do with this children's club.

 * Whether this is as it should be or not, we have no other word for internet radio stations to label them separately from terrestrial AM or FM radio stations. For an internet radio station to call itself a radio station isn't "false branding", it's just a different broadcasting platform. Bearcat (talk) 11:40, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect: Let's keep the information (trim it down) and move it to the Capital University page. I think, since it does have 5 sources, it can be saved, but since it doesn't meet NMEDIA, redirect is the way to go. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 19:48 on July 11, 2020 (UTC) •  #StayAtHome • #BlackLivesMatter
 * Update: There is a section on the Capital University page for the station itself. It needs a few sources.  Add the 5 the article has and there ya go. :)  Redirect complete. -  Neutralhomer  •  Talk  • 19:51 on July 11, 2020 (UTC) •  #StayAtHome • #BlackLivesMatter
 * Redirect to Capital University: It's best to discuss the station in the target article. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Capital University. Internet radio stations aren't entitled to the same presumption of notability as terrestrial AM or FM radio stations, but the sources here are entirely primary sources and/or the student newspaper of the same university, which means they aren't getting this over WP:GNG. However, per WP:NMEDIA, student media which are deemed non-notable should be redirected to and discussed within the article on the university or college that they serve, rather than simply being deleted outright.
