Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WVIY
as . Radio stations that have yet to actually launch do not get Wikipedia articles just because they've been ''licensed'' to launch, as one of the base requirements for a radio station to be considered notable per  is that it's actually on the air. WPRS ''used'' to be lax about actually ''enforcing'' this, but the thing is that it's entirely possible for a radio station to gain approval from the broadcast regulator but then ''fail'' for one reason or another to launch in time and have its license approval expire — this left us with ''dozens'' of articles to delete once we started cracking down on articles about "proposed" stations, because the stations had never launched and were permanently unexpandable. So no prejudice against recreation if and when it's properly sourceable as actually being on the air, but ''future'' radio stations don't get articles so long as they still only exist on paper
