Keep. All licensed radio and TV stations are notable. Wikipedia:Notability_(media)#Broadcast_media Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:05, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While it's true that NMEDIA accepts duly licensed radio stations as notable, what we don't have in this article is properly sourced verification that this station is properly licensed. We don't extend that presumption of notability just because a radio station is nominally verifiable as existing, because pirate radio stations and unlicensed Part 15 and carrier current and closed circuit radio stations exist too — the presumption of notability is extended only when we can properly verify that the station actually has a broadcast license from the appropriate regulatory authority. But no such verification is present here. NMEDIA explicitly states that the base notability conditions for radio stations have to be properly sourced for the NMEDIA pass to be given — we delete radio stations if we can't properly verify that they actually satisfy all three of the core requirements.

- Comment The National Telecommunications Commission (Philippines) lists this station: http://region7.ntc.gov.ph/index.php/regional-profile/radio-and-tv-broadcast-station Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:10, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's just a directory list of stations that exist, not a database record of their licensing statuses. All that list proves is that the NTC is aware that the station exists, in exactly the same way that Industry Canada and the FCC are always aware of all low-power VFs and pirate radio operations in their respective countries whether they have licenses or not — it doesn't prove that the NTC has given them a license to operate.

Keep At [1] (an official Filipino government publication from 2011), it lists DYFU 101.3 as being licensed to "Vicente Foundation University" in the Negros Oriental region. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The NTC link did something; prove that this station is 300 watts, not the 1,000 claimed in the article. That means it barely covers the campus area and maybe most of Dumaguete, and nowhere else. As it is, this is a university radio station that's comparable to carrier current stations, which means it doesn't have much range, few sources and little notability off-campus.
