The result was redirect to NOAA Weather Radio. When the list is moved to mainspace, the redirect can (IMO, should) be retargeted. Courcelles (talk) 20:04, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A very low power (90 watt) licensed radio transmitter which per the article merely automatically transmits weather bureau (NOAA) reports and originates none of its own programming, failing the defacto standard for what makes a radio station notable.

Delete because, in my opinion, the article fails the general notability guideline, is not detailed, does not cite any sources, and does not indicate the importance of the topic. —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 02:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect: Per Skyllfully, these NOAA Weather Radio articles do not meet NMEDIA or GNG. I recommend this one, and the entire list of sister stations, be deleted and their calls redirected to NOAA Weather Radio, which is the originating network. A list of all the stations can be added to the NOAA Weather Radio page. Sources for that will be easy to find. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:06, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Neutralhomer. --Rubbish computer 22:27, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per everybody. Per WP:NMEDIA, a transmitter which exists merely as a rebroadcaster of a larger service, rather than an originating station in its own right, gets a redirect to the larger service rather than a standalone article. Neutralhomer is correct, as well, that all the similar transmitters listed in ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:NOAA Weather Radio should likely be redirected, as virtually none of them has any standalone notability independently of the service as a whole. No objection to a list, though I will say that there are enough such transmitters that a separate List of NOAA Weather Radio transmitters should be created rather than an embedded list inside the main article. (And then maybe the individual call signs could be redirected to that list instead.) Bearcat (talk) 13:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since this AfD appears to be going the delete/redirect route, I am going BOLD and creating the List of NOAA Weather Radio transmitters page in my sandbox. There is ALOT of information to put into the page, so it is going to take me a couple. Anyone wishing to help (and I would appreciate it), please contact me on my talk page. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
