Subject does not meet the WP:GNG as a former satellite radio station. A WP:BEFORE check only came up with this [[1]]. A redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels seems sensible but I'm open to other opinions. Let'srun (talk) 16:45, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as suggested seems fine, nothing showing it was in some way more notable than any other channel. Oaktree b (talk) 17:40, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels, where it is mentioned, per everyone else; this is the logical alternative to deletion for otherwise non-notable pre-merger XM channels (if not associated with another notable parent entity). Even the old overpresumption of notability that the NRADIO essay attempted to presume prior to 2021 still actually presumed non-notability for satellite radio channels, all but requiring independent media coverage for any notability that could be attained (though not explicitly deferring to GNG the way the current version of essay does). The existing sources—a press release and a message board—don't even approach that standard, much less GNG. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:27, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
