 * Keep. Our standard for radio stations is that if they are licensed (and you can type in "XHQC" in the IFT Public Concessions Registry and get this station, so it is), they are notable. The references here are the concession registry for the station's ownership history and the IFT tables for technical parameters and current concessionaire. Raymie (t • c) 06:00, 6 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I wasn't particularly familiar with the guidelines for notability of radio stations, so I had a look around and it seems that the RFC here determined that the "automatically notable if licenced" guideline doesn't apply outside of North America, and that other radio stations should be judged by WP:GNG. Should WP:BCASTOUTCOMES be considered consensus, it seems like there's some degree of contention over the issue? I'm honestly asking, I am not familiar with the topic.— crh 23   &thinsp;(Talk) 09:27, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Radio in Mexico is more like radio in the US and Canada than it is radio in other countries; there aren't a lot of strong networks, most stations are locally programmed, etc. The smaller number of stations per city is mostly due to outdated technical guidance which is being replaced soon.

 * Keep. Information for many radio stations, particularly Canadian & Mexican stations, can be very limited or difficult to find. Some information is certainly better than none, and this article definitely provides valuable information which may not be available anywhere else. The IFT reference verifies some of the licensing information, and the article gives a good basic background.Rudy2alan 13:44, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. "Not enough references" is not a sufficient reason for deletion.  That's a reason to add references, not to delete the article.  If you think that such references cannot be found, that's another story and you (Xx Cool Guy7202 xX) will have to explain why you think that's the case.

 * Keep needs improved sourcing (tagged as such now), but keep per WP:BCASTOUTCOMES.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  02:18, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
