Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/East Radio Pop
Eastmain is incorrect about how NMEDIA works — we do ''not'' routinely keep every article that merely ''claims'' that its topic exists as a radio station, but rather radio stations have to meet ''all four'' of ''four'' conditions to get articles: (1) they originate at least a portion of their own programming schedule in their own studios rather than existing purely as a rebroadcaster of another service, (2) they are licensed by the relevant regulatory authority rather than operating as a Part 15 or pirate station, (3) they are actually on the air and not just an unlaunched construction permit that exists only on paper, and (4) all three of those facts are |reliably sourceable. We've had a ''lot'' of hoax articles created over the years about radio stations that ''didn't'' really exist, or that falsely claimed a license they didn't have or programming they didn't produce — so the notability test for a radio station is ''not'' just "the article says it exists", but "the article can be properly sourced as meeting ''all'' of the ''conditions'' for the notability of a radio station". And this is ''not'' properly sourced as meeting ''any'' of them. NMEDIA most certainly does ''not'' exempt a media outlet from having to be properly ''referenced'' to be considered notable
