Non-notable internet radio station being promoted by User:Thesoundfm. I42 (talk) 12:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. Future launch on airwaves is WP:Crystal Polargeo (talk) 14:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is just advertising. Also, Wiki is not a directory. (WP:NOTDIR). But it does not mention anything that would fall under WP:Crystal. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 14:47, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The initial version of the article stated "The station broadcasts online at the moment as the station is gearing up for a massive launch on 20 March 2010" which is presumably the bit which was asserted to fail WP:CRYSTAL. The original author has now changed the article to state that the station is on air, although there is evidence this is so. I42 (talk) 15:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. For an internet radio station which has supposedly had 15,000 hits, you'd expect some kind of internet presence. Zero hits falls below even non-notable; I suggest this article is a hoax. I42 (talk) 20:20, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I found zero sources. Likely hoax. Joe Chill (talk) 21:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Their website, which is linked from the article, says they are gearing up for a launch on the airwaves on 20 March 2010 [1]. However, without any independent reliable sources for this local radio station we should not keep the article because it is neither notable or verifiable. Currently it is using wikipedia as free promo. Polargeo (talk) 08:44, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
