Delete. WP:TOOSOON article about a planned radio station which has an active construction permit and is streaming on the web, but is still fundraising to acquire an actual transmitter. WP:NMEDIA, however, requires a station to actually be transmitting before it gains a presumption of notability, precisely because things can happen (e.g. the fundraising goes poorly?) that cause the station to never launch at all and have its CP expire unbuilt -- and there's no automatic presumption of notability for internet stations, in the absence of a demonstrable WP:GNG pass, either. No prejudice against recreation if and when the station does launch, but it's not a suitable or properly sourceable article topic yet as of today. Bearcat (talk) 02:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; unlaunched stations do not enjoy the presumption of notability assumed for established/operating stations, and it's too soon to determine if the station has, or ever will, launch as an over-the-air station (they have until July 17, 2017 to do so). There's nothing verifiable out there to indicate KMFE-LP is broadcasting yet. There's also nothing to indicate that KMFE is notable enough as an Internet radio station (since right now, that's what it practically is) for an article. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
