Delete per WP:NOT and WP:NOTE: Though someone has obviously but a good deal of effort into this article, Wikipedia is not a random collection of college clubs. Also, this organization has not demonstrated how it has externally-verifiable notability per WP:NOTE. None of the sources are secondary sources, which means they cannot establish notability. I'm sure WP:V is satisfied; if sources were brought to bear which were independent of the establishment, and a thorough purging (by fire, of course) of the article were to be had (ie, to not use all those citations to Duke), then this would be a keep, but as it is, the article does not meet the requirements for inclusion.

 * Comment The station appears to be FCC licensed, and if I'm not mistaken, licensed radio stations are generally notable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 14:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. Nominator is a newly registered user whose only edits have been AfDs. Edit history and user name suggest a single-purpose account. • Gene93k (talk) 14:44, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Note In fact the IP editor 152.16.179.58 made this AfD and four others, all related to Duke and these are the only five edits by this IP editor - Dravecky (talk) 15:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Licensed broadcast radio stations are presumed notable and this one has been on the air for almost 60 years. It is marked for a substantial cleanup, its problems are not fatal. • Gene93k (talk) 14:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep as this is a licensed broadcast radio station serving a large population and geographic area and, sa such, is presumed notable. This article needs cleanup but that's not an issue for AfD. - Dravecky (talk) 14:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep. Satisfies notability requirements for radio stations, including audience base and longevity; everything else is a content issue, not for AFD. The weather's starting to look a bit WP:SNOW-y. 23skidoo (talk) 18:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per established broadcast consensus. Article clearly needs work, but is not egregious content demanding a complete do-over. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:18, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
