Non-notable radio station. Article contains no references and I have been unable to find any. --Non-Dropframe _talk 01:14, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - At least it looks like a usual radio station article now. ~~Delete~~ - Like most cases, radio stations won't get much attention and if so, it won't be much. It certainly seems to be the case here, all my searches at News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary found nothing. SwisterTwister talk 17:40, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep after significant improvement to this article, including proper sourcing to the FCC. FCC-licensed broadcast radio stations are generally found notable the way other civic infrastructure like towns, highways, and newspapers are found notable for Wikipedia's purposes. It's true that radio stations sometimes do not draw a lot of third party coverage but they themselves are a reliable source for coverage and the precedent at common outcomes is for these articles is to be kept. - Dravecky (talk) 19:26, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Dravecky: I understand what you mean but is a station with a three-month old license really "civic infrastructure?" I could understand if it's been around for ages but it hasn't. --Non-Dropframe _talk 01:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep: Per Dravecky. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:19, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Yuba City, California#Arts and culture: Full-power stations are presumed notable, but (1) this is a LPFM that has only existed for 3 months, and (2) even if there were a presumption for LPFMs, this station is provably profoundly lacking in coverage. I can't even find local mentions, not even about the station launch, after a brief search. This station is an example of how LPFMs don't have the guarantee of future coverage that full-power stations do. WP:TOOSOON at best. --Closeapple (talk)
- Comment: I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. Under WP:NMEDIA, all radio stations (AM, FM and Low Power) are notable. Plus, 5 references (three from Federal Government sources) are MORE than enough to meet GNG, in addition to WP:NMEDIA. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 19:31, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
