Sorry, but I really need to be frank. You guy’s really need to get a life. This is a legitimate television channel and has a right to be here just like every other television channel. There is nothing wrong with this article. Stevebradley1 (talk) 23:17, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It just got on the air in 2021, though. (??) It would be notable if like actual coverage can be found, otherwise, looks like a hard yikes to me. Unless literally anyone can fix this article in a short amount of time, it's a Delete for me. (Jesus Christ, not even WISH-TV could fix THAT article).

>>PS: To explain why I said that, a lot of new Radio/Television stations aren't notable at the beginning, because they just really are just NEW. Like this station literally signed on during the Pandemic, what did you think, it to be notable??? Nah.

Delete: Explained this already, but the station is rather new (2021) and not even WISH-TV can help it. A station which signed on a year later in Sacramento, California, iHeartMedia-owned KZIS is also a rather new station but that station has actual sources involved and plus, it was located in a frequency that the former station, Entercom Entercom Communications-owned* KDND (107.9 FM), had a well-known controversial past**.

>>PS, Entercom is now known as Audacy

Also, KDND's history is so controversial that Entercom shut the station down so they wouldn't have more problems when they bought CBS Radio (That's a lot of words) mer764KCTV^(Talk) 17:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a problem with the article, fix it, but don’t delete it. Stevebradley1 (talk) 23:19, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The problem with the article is unfixable by editors, Stevebradley1. It's that this facility has received no significant coverage in reliable sources. Its recency as a TV station will not help. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:48, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:

Here's my Reasoning why: It's new, it just got made in 2021 and except for WISH-TV, not a lot going on with that station. mer764KCTV^(Talk) 12:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: If nothing else, the coverage of its launch this Fort Wayne station got in Lima (where its owner is based) is more than, for instance, many HC2/Innovate stations ever get. But we still need more significant coverage than that, and a station only carrying programming originating elsewhere (mostly national services) probably isn't going to cut it. The subchannel carrying WISH-TV newscasts (and the statewide syndication of their newscasts overall) might merit a mention in that article, but the WISH announcement is neither significant coverage of this station nor is it really independent in any capacity.
