Delete. Three VF stations in the Canadian Arctic, all nominally verifiable in a directory but unverifiable as to what they actually broadcast (i.e. whether they originate their own local programming, or just serve as a community owned rebroadcaster of a service from a bigger city.) Per WP:NMEDIA, this type of station is not granted a presumption of notability anymore, except in the rare instance that it can be reliably sourced over WP:GNG. All three appear to be CRTC license-exempt, going by the total lack of any CRTC decisions pertaining to them at all, which means they don't satisfy WP:NMEDIA's license requirement either.

Delete all; there's nothing verifiable to determine the actual status of these stations outside of their Industry Canada authorization, which isn't enough. VF stations aren't inherently notable no matter what they broadcast (especially in the absence of a CRTC decision, which would at least help to tell us if these were rebroadcasters or not), and these stations generally aren't going to get the sufficient coverage in reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:38, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect all o the community articles where they can be mentioned. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:19, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If we could properly verify (a) whether they're still in operation or not, and (b) what they actually broadcast, then there would be a case for including them in the community articles. But if we can verify nothing about them, leaving us able to say nothing more than "VF# is a radio transmitter, programming unknown, that may or may not still exist", then it's not appropriate or useful content.
