WDXR

This is a non notable radio show with no information on hosts or what it broadcrasts. Eurovision 2009 and 2010^{Sasha Son}_{Sakis Rouvas} 09:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep for years there has been consistent precedent that government-licensed broadcast radio stations such as this one are presumed notable. They are part of their town's infrastructure. There is basic information on this stub article (including what it broadcasts). --RadioFan (talk) 11:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- You would say that though, you are the author of the article. Eurovision 2009 and 2010^{Sasha Son}_{Sakis Rouvas} 14:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Author or no, that is the current standard of notability for radio stations. The standard may in fact set the bar too low. Instead of picking off stations one by one, I think a better process would be to debate the standard itself, wherever the forum for that sort of thing is.

Strong keep Per all previous precedent that all licensed radio stations are notable, no matter their popularity. Nate • (chatter) 23:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep The notability of this government-licensed radio station is easily verified. Pastor Theo (talk) 00:23, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep It's actually a radio station, not a radio show, and includes information on its format (and more added since nomination). It doesn't include information on its hosts, as that's generally information not considered necessary in an article. More to the point, lots of precedent that licensed radio stations are generally held to be notable, especially so for full-power stations. Mlaffs (talk) 00:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep A FCC licensed commercial radio station for many decades, heard over a wide area. I expect that it also satisfies WP:N besides that, with numerous articles in newspapers in its region over those decades about the station. Edison (talk) 01:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep as this is a radio station not a "show" and FCC-licensed broadcast radio stations are generally held as notable, as are small towns and major highways. Plus, this article does have references that go towards notability in any case. - Dravecky (talk) 01:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Note I have just significantly expanded the WDXR article, adding history and references to give readers a deeper understanding of this notable radio station. - Dravecky (talk) 14:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speediest Keep - All radio station that have or have had a FCC license are notable. Period. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Oh the weather outside is frightful ....--RadioFan (talk) 03:26, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed it is...LOL. If you listen close enough, you might hear Santa. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 04:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As I have seen all this, I am changing my status to speedy keep and am withdrawing my nom. Let it just be said, I did not know any of this before Neutralhomer told me. Eurovision 2009 and 2010^{Sasha Son}_{Sakis Rouvas} 08:54, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
