WP:TOOSOON article about a radio station with an active construction permit and conducting transmitter tests, but not yet in full operation. WP:NMEDIA, however, requires us to wait until a station is broadcasting before we start an article about it, because things can happen in the meantime that cause the station to never launch and have its CP expire unbuilt (see, for example, the 10+ stations I nominated earlier today for which that exact thing happened.) No prejudice against recreation once it launches for real, but it's not a suitable article topic yet. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak delete; conducting "Test the Transmitter Weekends" certainly indicates that this station is much closer to launching than most of the other unlaunched stations that have been nomination for deletion of late, but it's still unlaunched for all intents and purposes. Unlaunched stations do not enjoy the presumption of notability assumed for established/operating stations, and it's too soon to determine if the station will ever fully launch (they have until January 16, 2017 to do so). There's nothing verifiable out there to indicate KCIZ-LP is broadcasting full-time yet. That the station has announced that it is testing the transmitter makes this !vote weaker than in other nominations, but it just isn't enough to save this article yet. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
