Delete. In the 2018 list of FM stations by the NTC (commons:File:FM radio stations in the Philippines (October 2018).pdf), DWBE is assigned to a station in Palawan and there are no FM stations located in Bataan. It is also not found in the list of stations in Radyo Natin's website. --Bluemask (talk) 09:03, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. One of the sources present in the article does provide technical verification that this station existed in the past, even if it doesn't still exist today — but that source is just a routine directory listing, not substantive coverage. It also fails to verify whether the station actually originated any of its own programming, as required by WP:NMEDIA, rather than just serving as a rebroadcaster of programming that originated elsewhere. Radio stations have to meet all four of four criteria to actually qualify for Wikipedia articles: a proper broadcast license, an actual established broadcast history as opposed to just being a paper license that never actually got on the air, originating at least some of their own programming rather than serving purely as relays for programming produced elsewhere, and reliable sourcing which verifies that all three of those things are actually true. This article does not properly demonstrate passage of all of those criteria, however. Also worth noting that it was created by an editor who was blocked, just four days later, as a sockpuppet of another editor with a very problematic editing history around Philippine radio stations.
