[edit] MILOFM
Non-notable and unlicensed low-power radio station with no secondary sources proving notability, sans station's own website. JPG-GR (talk) 21:09, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

- Keep - Saying this station is not notable is a slap in the face for all other pirate radio stations on Wikipedia. Pirate radio can live because very few people know about it, only a small percent of people in a given community know about these type of stations. See Radio CPR for example. The best example is KBFR (pirate radio). What about Free Radio Santa Cruz? Just because you might not see any notability in unlicensed stations doesn't mean the people who listen to them think the same way. I can personally confirm that this station exists and can be heard some distance on several radios. (Side note - editor who nominated this article has vendetta against me and has repetitively deleted good faith edits of mine for some unknown reason.) --Milonica (talk) 18:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
- There is no vendetta - please assume good faith. Your argument seems fully based on WP:ILIKEIT and fails to provide any proof of notability. JPG-GR (talk) 20:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

- Delete Doesn't seem all that notable: few Ghits. What's more, the article's main weakness, the total lack of reliable sources, needs to be addressed, otherwise, it's begging deletion. Ohconfucius (talk) 04:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete Operating a low powered unlicensed radio transmitter can be a fun hobby (been there, done that) but there is no evidence this operation satisfies Wikipedia's notability guideline by having substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. The article reads like a blog by the operator of the station. Buying a low powered unlicensed fm transmitter does not guarantee one a Wikipedia article, and does not automatically elevate the operator to the same status as well known pirate broadcasters. Pirate KBFR also had a powerful enough transmitter to cover a larger area with a clear signal, with 150 watts which is 7,500 times the claimed power of MILOFM of 0.02 watts.
