KYMC[edit]

This is/was a silent radio station that doesn't seem to be very notable. Tavix (talk) 02:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep as an FCC-licensed radio station with 30 years of broadcasting history. Notability is not temporary. - Dravecky (talk) 13:55, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: Also, the station has received significant in-depth coverage in secondary reliable sources, including front page coverage in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. I have added a few of these references to the article. (And is "doesn't seem to be very notable" a valid criteria? (see WP:JNN)) - Dravecky (talk) 14:40, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep Insufficient deletion rationale; also, all FCC licensed stations are inherently notable. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 15:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep all FCC licensed stations are inherently notable, notability is not temporary. Plus this article has some good history in it.--Rtphokie (talk) 16:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep it's still a licensed station, which means at any time it could come back on the air or be sold and the new owners could bring it back. MrMarkTaylor ^{What's that?/What I Do/Feed My Box} 17:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep If the FCC licensed it, it stays on Wikipedia. TV stations like KTFL (silent) and others get the same treatment, even if they're dead - like WKBF-TV, WKBS-TV, and many more. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 20:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
