Completely unreferenced article about a part 15 radio station. Part 15 stations do not have broadcast licenses, and unlicensed stations do not have the presumption of notability for broadcast stations. Of course, any notability has to be backed up by sufficient coverage in reliable sources — but there's nothing out there about this station, and it seems safe to say it doesn't meet the general notability guideline.

I am also nominating the article for its sister station, for the same reason:

Oldies 106.1 (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The second station appears to be one of the stations that have already had an article deleted at a recent AfD under similar grounds; if it means anything, all of the articles in both the earlier AfD and this nomination were created by Martini Lewis X ( talk · contribs). I'm not sure if the current Oldies 106.1 article has enough similarities to the previous version to fall under speedy deletion criterion G4. WCQuidditch 01:11, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply

  • Delete all Weebly doesn't host radio station sites, and no, ESPN Radio doesn't pick up random Part 15 transmitters to air their shows when they already have a good-powered AM station in the Southland to air them on. They've also persisted on adding the content of the deleted "Hot 923 The Beat" article as an alleged subchannel of KRRL, which already has two other existing subchannels and couldn't pick up another one unless the remainder had AM quality audio; fine with talk, doesn't work with music; not to mention iHeart traditionally doesn't pick up independent radio stations, even as HD Radio formats. At this point I'm sceptical about the truthfulness of their edits (and their persistence on uploading older and HD logos with multiple WP:GALLERY violations is also an issue).

  • Delete all These stations were already deleted, are non-notable Part 15s due to having no 3rd-party sources, and have changed formats several times in the 2 months total they’ve been listed on Wikipedia. Also, the articles’ OP should be blocked. Stereorock ( talk) 14:32, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply
If there's a next time, CSD G4 seems appropriate. Jeh ( talk) 20:03, 16 February 2018 (UTC) reply
Agreed. Stereorock ( talk) 22:25, 21 February 2018 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Part 15 stations are not granted a presumption of notability under WP:NMEDIA just for existing — their only possible path to a Wikipedia article is the prospect (highly unlikely but not entirely impossible) of getting enough reliable source coverage to pass WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH. But no such coverage has been shown here for either station, and as noted these were both already deleted in a prior AFD (the only thing different here this time was the page titles.) In fact, given that their logos are both laughably bad, both Facebook pages and one of the Weeblies deadlink, and the other Weebly barely contains anything more than a statement that the station exists, I'm actually not fully convinced that either station actually exists anywhere outside of the creator's imagination. Creator's been editblocked already. Bearcat ( talk) 21:46, 20 February 2018 (UTC) reply
Comment: I agree with Bearcat about Part 15s needing notability. I don't think the small handful of legitimately notable Part 15s like Radio Sausalito & KCHUNG Radio should be deleted like these Part 15s clearly need to be. If the O.P. is indeed their operator (if they even exist at all apart from here), and eventually they do because legitimately noteworthy, I have no problem at that point of them being listed at that future point.
