Delete. This is a low-power tourist information station, which is a class of radio station that WP:NMEDIA deprecates as not inherently notable. One of the key issues here is that the article states that the owners applied for revocation of their license "for reasons unknown" -- except that we know exactly what the reason was: this class of stations has been granted an exemption from having to have a CRTC license at all, which means an application to revoke its license was (a) expected to occur as a result, and (b) not proof in and of itself as to whether the station is "defunct" or not. But without reliable source coverage in media, there's no longer any way to properly verify whether it's active or defunct -- and if we can't verify it, we can't keep it.

Delete; there's no presumption of notability for tourist information stations, licensed or not, and it seems unlikely that CFCD-FM will ever attain the coverage in reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline, much less to verify whether it is still operating. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:28, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
