WXIN (radio)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Radio stations under Part 15 (i.e. low-power stations) are generally not considered notable. Since the article on this student station is quite elaborate, I prefer a wider discussion. It's already briefly mentioned in Rhode Island College, so there's probably nothing to merge. B. Wolterding (talk) 16:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:ORG without WP:RS coverage. History section is copyvio from here. The rest looks like inside info that possibly fails WP:NOR. • Gene93k (talk) 01:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Some notability and community involvement, as much as any other small-town radio station, and some significant notable alumni. I've been able to add some reliable secondary sourcing, albeit mostly in the alumni section, with a little bit of searching. Someone with better access to local and regional media would be able to source this more thoroughly. In any case, deserves more than a half-sentence mention in the Rhode Island College article.  - Dravecky (talk) 06:21, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Davrecky. There is ample precedent for the notability of part 15 stations in the U.S. These articles are actively maintained by WP:WPRS but this one slipped through the cracks, thanks for identifying it. --Rtphokie (talk) 11:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep While we don't normally presume notability for Part 15 stations ( which are so low-power no license is required, see WP:NME ), this one meets WP:ORG in its own right with multiple sources, a history going back to the 1970s, and notable alumni.
