[edit] WBXO

Nonsense, spam, fictional radio station. Kuroki Mio 2006 02:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - not only that, but self contradictory, too: "The station is owned by Depot Hill Media and and broadcasts at 1 kilowatts ERP from the a small tower." "ERP .25 kw". MER-C 03:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• An FCC FM query search brings up nothing, and the only WBXO that comes up at TVRadioWorld is a low-power television station in Rochester. A Shoutcast stream does, however, come up if you visit the station webpage listed under external links. So I offer no theories as to whether this is an Internet radio venture trying to portray itself as a real FM radio station for some mystifying reason, or whether this is a Part 15 venture (which don't have to be FCC-licensed, but also don't generally qualify as notable under Wikipedia rules.) Either way, delete unless somebody can provide better proof of notability. Bearcat 05:37, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It doesn't seem to be fake, but it's definitely not notable. Ultra-Loser ^{Talk | BT sites} 06:20, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete Per a lack of notability. Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 07:56, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete due to non-notability Matthuxtable 11:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nonnotable, with intentionally fraudulent content mixed in to make it sound more legit. --Aaron 18:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per all above. Completely non-notable.UberCryxic 18:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Bearcat and MER-C.-- danntm ^T _C 20:55, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete\ Only on lack of notability; it's just another radio station in a small market. Does not appear fake. · XP · 21:46, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• All television stations are notable (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/KTFL), but radio stations might be a bit lower. Give it to the WikiProject (WP:WPRS) or weak delete. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 22:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Is the website not enough proof to show it's legit? You can see an FM Transmitter on their rack!mgarnes2 WBXO

• SaveWBXO is an FCC part 15 radio station transmitting on 630Khz and on 102.5 FM; The station further streamlines its audio signal over the Internet via Shoutcast streaming technology. The station slogan "WBXO AM & FM" is simply that; it is not a set of call letters issued by the FCC. Much like some stations have slogans (Z-100, Power 95, 3WE, Kiss-FM) WBXO AM & FM happens to be the slogan we so choosen. The primary purpose of the part 15 operation is to provide coverage to the local population abeit the listening range is short due to restrictions based on part 15, there is actual transmission over the public airwaves, thus affording anyone within tranmission range the opportunity to listen in. The Station is privately owned; that is, no outside public interest involved in the affairs of the station. It is a primarily automated station with some live day-parts interspersed during the week and weekends. Deletion of this station would not be in the best interests of the general public as we operate under legal parameters; maintain a regular schedule of broadcasting to the public as evidenced by our continous broadcasting since 1/1/02; The station has continually streamed audio since 6/1/04 thus affording internet listeners a regular source of music, public service announcements and other pertinent information as needed. Arguements of the station being "unnotable" are compeletely without merit and should be dismissed as such. As encyclopedia's are supposed to be a source of knowledge, it appears that the proposed deletion of this page would be counter productive to the aims and goals of Wikipedia. mgarnes2 WBXO 19:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
