K38IM[edit]

While the station appears to have a permit, I see no other assertion that it exists. I might be getting over-eager here, but I think this might fail WP:N. On top of this, the call letters are non-standard. Tyrenon (talk) 21:16, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find the notability guidelines for TV stations. K38IM is a "translator station", meaning it does not produce any of its own programming. It also seems to be a low-power station. Hairhorn (talk) 22:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Translators are not generally considered TV stations, since they just re-transmit the programming of an actual TV station at low power for a small area. They have not been judged notable in past AFDs I have seen. Fails notability due to lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources and should go because Wikipedia is not a directory of everything that exists in a government license database.

Redirect to 3ABN, the owner of the station whose programming it carries. The station is in the ABQ TV template and since it just airs that network, there's no need to do anything else. Also Tyrenon, television translator calls in the United States are in the format of W02AA, and they are correct. Nate • (chatter) 05:32, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 3ABN, standard practice with these translator stations. DHowell (talk) 03:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
