Non-notable radio station that seems to have only existed for 11 months. I initially PRODed this, as the only source included was a forum post, which is not a reliable source, and I was unable to find more than brief mentions upon searches. It was de-proded with the request to bring it to AFD instead, and a second source was added as well. However, this new source is just a small blurb announcing the station, which I feel still does not establish notability or help the subject pass the WP:GNG.

• Delete at best. The only result a GNews search will give you is a Guardian article mentioning a DJ work for this station. That's it. 👨x🐱 (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Anorak trivia; one in a long line of failed vanity projects from that culture. RobinCarmody (talk) 21:45, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. A poor article in need of work, about a poor project that failed. Neither of these are reasons for deletion. The subject appears to be notable. This was a genuine enterprise that involved a number of notable people, albeit not for long and with little success. I've added a few references for some of the unsupported content.

• Comment - Unfortunately, none of the added sources actually have any coverage on the station itself, and that is really the issue here - the WP:GNG requires a subject having "significant coverage in reliable sources". Both of the sources you have added have basically no coverage on the station - they are on individuals (Mike Read and Ed Stewert) that have a single line mentioning they DJ'd on the station. The fact that notable people were involved with the station does not automatically confer notability to the station itself, per WP:NOTINHERITED - there needs to actually be reliable sources discussing the station itself in detail.
