Article is about a radio translator station. By definition, translator stations do not provide their own programming, and are therefore non-notable. Possible merge with parent station, if parent station already has an article. JPG-GR 21:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

agreed, should be merged with parent station page, what is the parent station?--Rtphokie 21:26, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd recommend that you stop creating articles for radio stations you know nothing about. If you're not sure what the parent station is, how can you be sure that a translator has any notability whatsoever? JPG-GR 21:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd recommend that before creating any more translator stub articles, see http://crtech.org/fxactive.html for a list of FM translators and their parent stations. Create an article about the parent station, and then add info about translators in that article. Though it is still a good idea to not create articles about stations you nothing about. No radio station article should say "broadcasting a format". DHowell 08:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Delete translator stations are non-notable if any recognition is given it should be given in an article of the host station (if any). --DP67 (^talk/_contribs) 21:50, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Translators are not in themselves notable. Fails to satisfy WP:N. Edison 03:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment K244CA is a translator of KNLB - JPG-GR 07:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
• As with K280DD which I renamed to KRCY-FM and revised, I'm renaming this to KNLB and revising. DHowell 08:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep keep the KRCY-FM article, it's vastly more useful now. Thanks to DHowell.--Rtphokie 12:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment from nominator article has been redirected to a more complete article on the parent station. Nomination withdrawn. JPG-GR 07:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
