• Comment - It's not much worse that most radio station articles, is it? -76.22.99.215 (talk) 06:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is a full-power radio station, licensed by Ofcom in the UK, but broadcasting from the Netherlands. Reliable sources exist: "Big L 1395 finds new home on medium wave" from Music Week, "Trying to turn the clock back: New radio station faces a challenge" and "‘Big L goes Dutch’ on 1395 kHz" from Radio Netherlands Worldwide.

• Delete per notability issues. Having been mentioned in passing or summary as a new or moved business doesn't establish notability, or almost all radio stations in the country would qualify - and they don't. Press has a coverage bias towards other press. Avruch^Talk 20:55, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Apparently major-market station with international distribution. Likely more published articles could be found about it, particularly with regards to it being in the Netherlands but serving an audience in England. Keep article and add some improvement tags.

• Keep This is a government-licensed major-market radio station with at least some references in reliable secondary sources. If anything, other media is less likely to write about a radio or television station which is one of the rationales behind Wikipedia:Notability (media). - Dravecky (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This is very notable. The fact that the article could be improved is not a good reason to delete it.--Rtphokie (talk) 13:51, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
