DXDM[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Appears to be non-notable radio station in Phillipines. Article has no sources. Hard to find info on it but few Google hits. Created by possible sockpuppet (says so on their page). Many other articles like this and unsure of their notability. Christopher Connor (talk) 15:14, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Like American and UK radio stations, Phillipine radio stations enjoy the same notablity and the precedence set in previous AfDs. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:BCAST says that "local affiliates of notable networks are themselves presumed notable". DXDM-FM is a part of Notre Dame Broadcasting Corporation's network. — C M B J 20:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete or Redirect to DWDM-FM (if we can find WP:RS): While licensed stations with their own programming are presumed notable, there is no evidence here that this station has ever been anything but a rebroadcaster without its own history or programming. Not only are there not that many references, but there are Google pages with different frequencies and cities for this callsign. The current version of the Wikipedia page Eagle Broadcasting Corporation implies that DXDM is basically a relay for 95.5 DWDM-FM Quezon City. Older versions of the Catholic Media Network on Wikipedia used to show DXDM as being "Spirit FM 88.7 - DXDM 88.7 Kidapawan City, North Cotabato". And [1] / [2] shows it as "88.7 Kidapawan/Daang Maharlika". The 95.5 webpage is especially unhelpful — it refuses to show anything unless you agree to an Adobe license. My guess is that this station used to be a Catholic Media Network relay, and is now a Dazzling Music relay that should be redirected to DWDM-FM, but I haven't even found enough sources to do that, and the DWDM-FM article itself claims that station is off the air. Replacing the article with "DXDM is a radio station in the Philippines that may or may not be a relay of someone else, and nobody knows what city or frequency it's really on." doesn't really make sense. --Closeapple (talk) 22:13, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - per 2 comments. Maybe it's off the air same as DWDM-FM. - Gabby 14:16, 14 June 2010 (PST)

Delete It may be inherantly notable but if we can't find any sources then its also unverifiable which is a policy and trumps GNG. Spartaz ^Humbug! 07:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
