K32GL

Procedural nom, as the prod tag was removed. This short unsourced article is about a proposed television station in American Samoa. Based on comments from other editors, the station was never built, and there is no record of the callsign in the FCC database.[1] El on ka 22:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There is an FCC record if you search for the call sign here, and that record shows that TBN applied for a construction permit on August 30, 2000, was accepted on November 4, 2003, and it expired three years later on November 4, 2006. So this is verifiable information but I don't know if it is enough for an article or to be even be merged anywhere. DHowell (talk) 05:49, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete. Proposed stations that don't get build are unlikely to offer enough material to write an article. - Mgm|^(talk) 00:17, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can imagine a circumstance where a proposed television station whose construction permit expired unbuilt might still be notable enough for an encyclopedia article, but that circumstance would most likely require a controversy which garnered mainstream press coverage (such as, say, the station owner getting arrested for using the station to launder drug money or to funnel illegal donations to a terrorist organization.) But this station doesn't meet that standard — just being able to source it to the same FCC database as a television station that actually did make it to air isn't enough. And even if this were kept for some reason, a broadcast translator should never be anything more than a redirect to its programming source unless, once again, the transmitter is individually notable for reasons much like my examples above.

Delete The very article describes why it is not notable... it was never built, turned on, started, or existed. WVhybrid (talk) 03:36, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
