The rather razor-thin operational history of this radio station (and it hadn't "ceased broadcasting" by 2006 — that was when it was granted its construction permit; it was not licensed until 2011) leads me to believe that it probably wasn't around long enough to get anywhere near the significant coverage to meet the GNG. (The article does not even contain any information on what WZHL might have aired! Indeed, from 2009 to 2015 the edits were mostly maintenance and/or bots, with the transmitter coordinates being the most substantial addition.) A PROD was contested in 2019 at a time when this topic area hadn't yet completely moved away from the looser standards centered around the NMEDIA essay, which closes the books on any potential soft deletion.

Delete: I doubt this would have even met the previous NMEDIA standards. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I just checked the history of the page...and apparently I was the one who contested the 2019 PROD. To closer, please consider my !vote accordingly. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 02:05, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Nothing has changed since my 2019 PROD. The station operated sporadically outside of a five-month period in 2012. The owner was Magnolia Radio Corporation, which had a series of radio construction permits that mostly never went anywhere but receivership.
