Radio Station M1IOS - Islands of Scilly

Just as non-notable as any other average amateur radio operation. Denelson 83 00:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It claims to be the only Class A amateur station on the Islands of Scilly, which may have some significance, particularly to those amateur radio enthusiasts who want to communicate with every island that has an amateur radio station. No references in the article, but see http://www.google.com/search?q=M1IOS for a Google search. --Eastmain (talk) 00:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: It's still an amateur station. Not only is it a dreadful precedent to have amateur stations of any stripe in (all the low-power FM's in the US are waiting), but if we're drawing lines on a map and saying, "Only one in X," we invite endlessly small divisions. I agree that the Isles of Scilly are fascinating, interesting, geographically and historically important, but I find it hard to believe that the residents are not served by normal media, that the amateur station achieves a significant effect on the world around it.

Weak delete: I'm not opposed on philosophical grounds but without any sort of sourcing from reliable secondary sources this article just can't prove notability. - Dravecky (talk) 14:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:ORG and WP:V. A Class A license appears be a distinction in the amateur radio world (like a 1x2 Extra Class callsign) but not outside. If a 3rd party source like Qst noticed the station and called it special or at least important for the area, I might be impressed. • Gene93k (talk) 14:37, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Specifies right in the first sentence that it's an amateur station. Remainder of article is technical details and asserts no notability. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
