[edit] KGRG-FM

Page is redundant, because List of radio stations in Washington has all it's information and more. ApolloCreed 03:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

• Comment most radio stations have their own articles, but this is a substub. Vote reserved to see if gets expanded in the next few days. —Wahoofive (talk) 05:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Why is this on AfD? You could have been bold and redirected it. rspeer 16:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect works for me. Just so everyone notices, it's 250 watts. Again, that's 250 watts. That means it has an effective radius of a few hundred yards. A small college radio station will be 40,000 watts. Geogre 17:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Really? WNUR and WBUR are college stations that broadcast over a much larger geographic area than the campus, yet they're far below 40 kW (in fact, under 15 kW). A small station, WMBR checks in at 200 W, having increased from 14 W. I found WOSU-FM at 20 kW (WOSU (AM) is 5 kW day, 790 W night). It seems that 40 kW would be a very big campus radio station. Small is under a kilowatt. (And I think small radio stations with regular programming deserve articles.) Fg2 02:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - Seems to warrent its own page. 9cds 18:27, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as non-notable. If it was a major college, then it might be notable enough. 250 watts is low, but only very large stations would be 40 kW. For example, KROQ-FM is only 5.6 kW. -- Kjkolb 00:53, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Encyclopedic information. Fg2 04:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- FCC licensed radio station. There is plenty of precedent for student-run radio stations on Wikipedia. Haikupoet 04:18, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Strong redirect to the list. This is a community college radio station, with a range covering the campus and not much else. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 23:27, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Nothing wrong with the article. Vegaswikian 06:39, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - abuse of AFD for editorial work. You don't need an AFD to make a redirect - David Gerard 14:06, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Article has been expanded. -- JJay 18:36, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
