I don't want to repeat myself on this. The Station is clearly a hoax. Scrambling in my mind that GMA Network is not aware of this. The author must be warned again, or need to block him indefinitely. Hamham31 Heke!KushKush! 01:45, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - What evidence is there that this is a blatent hoax? I'll admit I'm vaguely confused by what comes up in google, but nothing pops out as obviously a hoax. Granted, it could be an attempt at subtle vandalism, which would suck, but I'm trying to find your arguments for it being a hoax and can't find them. Fieari (talk) 07:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If you take a good look at any sourced articles here on any site, I couldn't find anything regards to DXRC existence which actually does not. And if you're referring to GMA 7 website (which actually you don't yet know about anything on Philippine stations), there is no such thing as DXRC existence in Zamboanga province. The editor didn't cite any source since its creation. Hamham31 Heke!KushKush! 00:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Have a look at this. This doesn't look like a blatant hoax to me. Pinging Fieari and Hamham31. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:55, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That might be a circular reference since it uses Wikipedia as one of their sources of information. Sixth o f March 01:40, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article was created on 22 Jan 2016. The link I posted existed before that (see web archive). DXRC also seems to be mentioned here and here. Somehow I get a feeling this is not a blatant hoax. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 03:15, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No mention of the subject in GMA Network's website that could prove its existence [1]. Sixth o f March 01:40, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - @Fieari: and @Lemongirl942: This is another evidence that DXRC in Zamboanga does not really existed, instead it was DXRZ owned by Radio Mindanao Network in the Philippines. Any comments from you guys are still welcome. Hamham31 Heke!KushKush! 00:24, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In theory, per WP:NMEDIA the core notability criteria that a radio station has to meet to be keepable are that it (a) is duly licensed by the appropriate regulatory authority, and (b) produces at least some of its own original programming rather than operating as a pure rebroadcaster or translator of another station. But those criteria do both still have to be verifiable somewhere. We have seen hoax articles created about fantasy radio stations that didn't actually exist at all, so it is not enough to merely claim those things as true — the claim to passing NMEDIA does not actually get the radio station over NMEDIA until it's supported by reliable sources. So I'm willing to revisit this if somebody can locate the proper sourcing necessary to verify that this station satisfies the inclusion criteria, but in this state it's a delete.
