Someone tried to draftify this, but they were accused of page-move vandalism when they did so and were informed that sources could be found on Google. I tried Googling, and got a bunch of non-independent/unreliable (blog posts, press releases, etc.); of course, those sorts of sources don't actually prove notability.

Delete per nomination. I looked hopefully for some RS, based on the edit summary that you mentioned, but only found passing mentions in a very few reliable sources. Wikishovel (talk) 15:24, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and Wikishovel. I also tried to find sources in places that are known to have good, reliable coverage of UK radio and drew a blank. I found three items:

1. A Guardian radio review article from August 2023, passing mention of one programme produced by the station

2. An interview with a presenter in the Radio Times in January 2023, not about the station, not RS as it is an interview

3. A five-line local newspaper article from the Greenock Telegraph in June 2021 about a local artist who had a song played on Slack City

I also had a look for sources for "totallyradio", which is apparently the station's previous name. Despite this station apparently being 'the UK's longest running internet radio station' there was also nothing of note. I don't feel like these constitute WP:RS, even taken together.
