No claim to notability. No references added in more than year since tagged. Search generates nothing that obviously is "significant coverage in reliable sources" (I am unable to evaluate Chinese language sources, however).

- Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this internet radio station. Joe Chill (talk) 19:27, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: the most popular internet radio station in HK, with listeners from the US, Canada, and other places. Raysonho (talk) 18:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. You should say "claimed" as there is no authority cites for these claims. And (a) most popular X in HK is not a claim of notability without some additional work; and (b) has listeners frm the US, Canada, and other places is certainly no claim of notability.

- Well, are you too lazy check the alexa results?? As a canadian listener of this station, I often hear people from other places phoning in, including the US, AU, EU, etc... Raysonho (talk) 23:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Alexa shows it as one of the top 2.2 million web sites. While it may or may not do better against a group of its peers, this is not a claim of notability.
- I was unable to find data about this from Canada's 2006 census, but in 2001 it appears that there were nearly 900,000 Cantonese speakers in Canada—more than 10% of the population of Hong Kong. It is entirely unremarkable that there would be subscribers from Canada to a Hong Kong news source of any media variety. This goes for the US, Australia, and the EU. This is not a claim of notability.

- With your reasoning, there shouldn't be any articles in Wikipedia for radio stations. As most newspapers and radio stations are for local people, they might just all fail your notability guideline.
- And back to Wikipedia:Notability (media): unique programming, where in the world could you find 3 LegCo members as hosts of a radio station?? Further, people in China download MyRadio programs via the Tor network -- why do they go all the trouble if this is "just" for a small number of people in HK, or oversea HKers??

- Delete unless reliable sources can be found. The only reference provided is to a forum thread. As to the above arguments: where in the world could you find 3 LegCo members as hosts of a radio station?? This is irrelevant. Likewise, With your reasoning, there shouldn't be any articles in Wikipedia for radio stations. This is also a WP:WAX argument, as this refers to radio stations in general, not web-based content. --Kinu t/c 04:43, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- How is it irrelevant??? Did you check Wikipedia:Notability (media) before writing your reply?? Raysonho (talk) 06:25, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course I did, and I fail to see, based on reliable sources, which of the criteria this statement strives to meet. --Kinu t/c 06:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
