deprodded by editor saying "Wikipedia does not prod any radio stations, campus or otherwise, that are properly licensed by the appropriate broadcast regulator." However, I contend that it is still not notable, as a student radio station. The article is unsourced. In any event, there appears to be no mention of any licenses granted. Stub since January 2006.

- weak keep. Some evidences of notability in sources [1][2] and [3]. JulesH 12:07, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- "weak" is definitely the word: 1] and 3] are trivial mentions, and I believe 2] is a directory entry from a dependent source, thus none would qualify as valid criteria under WP:N. Ohconfucius 06:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete No evidence it is a licensed broadcast station. Some countries allow unlicensed low powered FM stations, which are about as non-notable as things get. One of the references by JulesH says it gets out 5 km, which isn't very far, and another says they broadcast part-time until recent years, which also sounds like a hobby station, a vanity station, or a training operation for radio students at the school.

- I live less than 1km from my local university campus, but I can't receive their radio station here. On the scale of things, 5km is quite a range for a university station. JulesH 14:33, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Per our practice on radio stations, our sole criterion for determining the notability of a radio station is "licensed by the appropriate broadcast regulator and originates at least a portion of its broadcast schedule in its own studios". We don't apply any additional criteria beyond that; if a radio station meets those two conditions, it's in. Keep. Bearcat 22:20, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. According to RadioStationWorld, the station broadcasts with 1 kW of power. In the U.S. this would enough to require an FCC license. Two college radio stations in the Los Angeles area, KCSN and KPCC, broadcast with less power (370 watts and 600 watts respectively), and they are definitely notable and can be heard throughout most of the Los Angeles area. For evidence that it is a licensed broadcast station in New Zealand, see here DHowell 21:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
