Radio station which does not meet WP:NMEDIA. Tourist information stations are not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability just because they exist, but must be sourceable over WP:GNG for something more than just the simple fact of having once had a CRTC license -- this class of station is now exempt from CRTC licensing as of 2007, making its current operational status unverifiable according to our needs. This is simply not a class of radio station that gets its own standalone article anymore. I'd suggest a redirect, but given the unverifiability problem there's not much value in redirecting this to an article that could only say that this used to exist and maybe still does but we don't know and have no way of finding out. It's better to just delete. Bearcat (talk) 05:09, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BROADCAST and moreso this: " On the other hand, licensed Travelers' Information Stations are generally not presumed notable, but might redirect to an article about the highway, park or tourist facility they cover, or about the company that operates them if that company meets WP:CORP."

Delete; the presumption of notability for broadcast stations does not apply to unlicensed stations such as Canadian tourist information stations (they still need technical authorization from Industry Canada, but that's not sufficient enough for our purposes) — and tourist information stations in general aren't presumed to be notable even when they do have a license. These also aren't the type of stations that will ever get the sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:53, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I should also add that while the CBC requested license revocation in 2007 for its park information stations, the exemption they confirmed their eligibility for actually dates back to 2003. I only note this for the sake for completeness… --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:10, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
