  • Delete. Non-notable. Anturiaethwr 20:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anturiaethwr (talk • contribs) Oh, come on, SineBot! Anturiaethwr 20:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Undecided, but edging to keep The article is in poor shape, but the station is apparently a licensed station[1]. Regular FCC-licensed stations are inherently notable, but what are the standards for low power stations? DarkAudit (talk) 20:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Put up the Columbus TV template and a TVQ link, along with a link to the network the station is affiliated with to edge it within notability. We can begin to at least get an infobox in there. Nate • (chatter) 21:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment For a low power station, I do not feel that there is automatic or inherent notability. They are less notable, in general, than regular broadcast stations. They should have substantial coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources to satisfy WP:N. Does this one? Edison (talk) 01:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Very Weak Keep FCC licensed station to serve the public, passes the N test for me. If digital subchannels, HD simulcasts of cable channels and TBN translators have their own articles, a start up low power can too. Mr mark taylor (talk) 12:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep -- they are as notable as any other station, especially if they provide their own programming. -- azumanga (talk) 16:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, but redirect -- The station is brand-new, so it has not had time to establish notability. A guideline for media notability suggests inherent notability for full-service stations, but requires more sourcing for low-power stations, especially those that do not originate programming. This station does not originate programming. It does, however, broadcast the full network schedule from White Springs Television, and so, rather than deleting the article, I recommend that it be changed to a redirect to the network. That way, if the station should establish independent notability, the article history is preserved and can be recalled. dhett (talk • contribs) 08:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
