Completely unsourced article about a defunct radio station. While this was kept in 2010 when it was bundled in with a bunch of other radio and television stations at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DZOZ-TV, that was the wrong decision in this particular instance. What passes NMEDIA is not the mere assertion that a radio station was duly licensed and originated some of its own unique programming -- both of those are things that can be and frequently are falsely claimed about stations that actually fail one or both conditions, so per WP:NMEDIA what actually determines whether a radio station gets an article or not is the extent to which we can or can't properly verify those things as true through the use of reliable sources. But seven years after the original discussion, there still isn't hide nor hair of a single source here -- most of the other articles in the original bundle do have sources present, but this one does not. And if we can't verify it, we can't keep it. Bearcat (talk) 18:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable. This appears to have been a recent target of the LTA User:Bertrand101 trying to hijack it for yet another hoax Philippine radio station article. In this case the original station appears to have been real, we just don't ahve anythign to show its notability. Meters (talk) 05:40, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have not been able to trace a single reliable source for the existence of this radio station: everything I have found is on wikis, pages that have copied word-for-word from this Wikipedia article, and other such unreliable sources. I am not convinced that the station ever existed, but if it did it is clearly totally non-notable. In either case it is not suitable as the topic of an article.

Delete - Apparently the station (the original subject, not the hijacked version) did exist at one point (can't verify if it still does), but even if it did, it lacked coverage in reliable sources. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
