Delete There are 300 operational private FM radio stations in Nepal. This one has zero independent coverage. I also did a search on its name in Nepalese "रेडियो बादल" with the same result. Voceditenore (talk) 10:30, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was about to take this to AfD after searching in English and its Nepalese name. I also looked to see if it was actually part of the World Radio Network and found no evidence that it is. Doug Weller talk 10:59, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot find any independent sources for this radio station. It fails to meet the standards that are defined in the general notability guideline. ―Susmuffin ^Talk 17:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The radio station probably exists, but the article appears to have been created by overstriking a different station or network's article. I couldn't find a list of radio stations at http://mocit.gov.np/ (only in Nepali). I did find a list of some broadcast executives at http://www.broadcastersnepal.org/ne/pages.php?pag_ID=1&pae_ID=24 That list might be useful for creating or expanding articles on other stations, but Radio Baadal isn't listed there.

Comment The article was created shortly after its creator created an article about himself, Hackeraj (twice deleted). I imagine the purpose was to list himself as the "Chief technician" of the station. See this version. Voceditenore (talk) 08:49, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Radio stations are not automatically kept just because the article asserts that they exist — the notability test for a radio station requires that its meeting of the notability criteria can be referenced to reliable sources and not just asserted.
