Non-notable student-run radio station. None of the links listed do much along the lines of proving any notability-EMP 05:08, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: As non-notable per nom. Links provided, if anything, assert its non notability. IvoShandor 12:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes says "Licensed radio and TV stations are notable if they broadcast over the air and originate at least a portion of their programming schedule in their own studios" but low power unlicensed Part 15 stations are generally not. That said, the article and some of the supporting sites (but NOT the FCC) indicate they somehow operate at 10 to 20 watts and would need to buy a transmitter to achieve the 4 kilowatts they have been licensed for for many years. A very wierd situation, because in my experience radio stations must submit proof of performance for each license renewal, and there is no hint of a problem in the FCC files online.

• Delete. I don't think student-run organizations are generally notable, and this one doesn't appear to be exceptional in any way. Never won an award, very low power, and so on. -- Mikeblas 13:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment This article is about an FCC licensed broadcast station, not merely a student organization. Edison 14:27, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep: What in the hell? This is an FCC-licensed broadcast radio station. [1] In what universe are FCC-licensed stations non-notable?  RGTraynor  20:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't care if my table lamp has more watts than the transmitter. It's an FCC-licensed station, so it's notable enough. Realkyhick 20:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep based on radio and TV precedents. If it's semi- or fully independent and it's FCC/Ofcom/(insert national broadcasting regulatory body name here)-licensed, it's a keep. TRKtv (daaaaah!) 02:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Whenever I try to delete radio stations, I am told that every radio station with a signal is notable. Therefore, this one is also notable. Captain panda 03:39, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete This is a notable college radio station for which there is not enough WP:RS material to write an attributable article on the topic. Thus, the topic does not meet Wikipedia notability guidelines and the article cannot meet Wikipedia article policy standards.-- Jreferee 23:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment/vote/complaint OK, if all registered radio stations are inherently notable, why even bother having this discussion at all? It's all very frusterating because the radio station isn't notable enough for wikipedia, barely showing up on the radar (no pun intended)...yet policy keeps it here, over true notability. Barring all guidelines and red tape, I would say delete, but I won't stand in the way of an admin who follows the guidelines and keeps it.
