Delete. Proposed radio station whose construction permit expired unbuilt, meaning it never met WP:NMEDIA's condition about "established broadcast history" (i.e. actually operating). WP:WPRS has sometimes been lax about that condition, allowing radio station articles to be started as soon as the license approval was granted, but we have to crack down on that — if a station has never launched and never will, it doesn't merit its own article.

Delete: Station only existed "on paper" and did not actually broadcast. As such, article does not meet NMEDIA or GNG. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:16 on August 14, 2016 (UTC)

Delete As the nominator notes WP:WPRS has generally allowed some latitude for these stations being established, mostly to kickstart the process and create better articles. But if the station never actually went on the air, and doesn't otherwise meet notability guidelines with sufficient coverage in 3rd party sources, then the article needs to go.

Delete: The Application for Review of the permit cancellation mentioned in the article was dismissed and denied in 2014. Ultimately, the station never went to air, and its construction permit expired unbuilt. Stations that never launched do not enjoy the presumption of notability assumed for established/operating stations, especially in the absence of any non-FCC information about the station. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:10, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
