Defunct small-town station with no secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG. Redirect is unnecessary as the disambiguator of (Shoshoni, Wyoming) makes it an implausibly specific search term. AusLondonder (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is one I'm okay with. I checked for sources (like you're supposed to), and couldn't locate anything notable. Plus, the station signed back on as KUDA on a different frequency. ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk • _{I DX for fun!} 22:05, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I did check for sources, as you're supposed to do when creating an article, and found absolutely nothing. AusLondonder (talk) 22:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hence I'm fine with it. All I ask is due diligence before pushing the AfD button. I would appreciate a template first, so that the article can be improved. If no sources can be found, so be it, it can be deleted. I just hope there isn't a vendetta here. I've put in many hours trying to beef up sources in radio station articles, and I'm just hoping they don't go to waste for nefarious reasons. As I've said many times before, I don't own these articles, but I will defend any licensed broadcast station where legitimate third-party sources can be found. See KCUW-LP and KBGN for examples. A lot of work went into those. ḾỊḼʘɴίcả • Talk • _{I DX for fun!} 22:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Subject does not have the sourcing to meet the WP:GNG. Implausible search term for a redirect. Let'srun (talk) 23:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: An obvious remnant article of the looser inclusion "standards" that this topic area had prior to 2021, which were largely based more on existence (which neither proves nor is notability) than on sourcing, much less the clearly-lacking-here significant coverage. The disambiguator makes any redirect impractical, particularly when there isn't much reason to retain the article history anyway. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of radio stations in Wyoming as WP:ATD. Why would KUDA be an unlikely search term? Also there are 57 incoming links. I assume most of these are from templates, but who's going to check for real ones. Wouldn't it be WP:CHEAPER to redirect? ~Kvng (talk) 14:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG, no reliable sources on the article and no hits online, FCC source is not great for demonstrating notability. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 13:13, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not only is the article poorly sourced, the subject itself lack sources. It clearly doesn't meet WP:GNG. ZyphorianNexus (talk) 01:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
