not notable, conflict of interest (self-written), advertising. (basically WP:VSCA) Dougie WII 06:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep The radio station was first used in Vietman, then in the gulf first time around, then the second time around. So its a well established institution. Article needs re-written and tarted up. scope_creep 21:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
The radio station existed only for 21 days, and only one of the people involved in it (apparently the author) went to Iraq, and only once. I still think this is more advertising for new commercial endeavors than encyclopedic content. - Dougie WII 14:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep It seems valuable as a historical curiosity. Eliminating the current projects and focusing only on the historical information in the article can solve the conflict of interest problem. --Phaethon 0130 01:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep if the approach Phaethon suggests is followed.Alberon 10:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - for historical interest. There is nothing absolutely wrong with self-written articles. digitalemotion 11:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per above. All pirate radio stations have a story; some are notable because of the circumstances in which they were set up. Mandsford 12:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Phaethon 0130 made substantial changes to the article, I have no problem with the way it is now written -- Dougie WII 16:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
