Thanks for the catch; I missed this one in my recent batch of unlaunched never-wases, as I was concentrating on {{cl|Proposed radio stations}} and didn't go through other categories to scan for stragglers — as noted, this never actually launched, and therefore fails to have an "established broadcast history" as demanded by . In general, individual weather radio transmitters should actually not be presumed individually notable, as they're notable only as an aspect of a larger topic (i.e. the overall national weather radio service operator) rather than as individual standalone topics — Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WWG24|this discussion last year reaffirmed that these should all be merged into a single list of weather radio transmitters (either in the parent service's article or as a "List of..." spinoff) rather than existing as separate articles, per our rules about how to handle "stations" that exist only as a rebroadcaster of a larger service or network than as standalone originators of programming. I note that as of today that still hasn't actually happened in the US, and I just now dealt with redirecting the Canadian ones. And, in fact, there's a |verifiability problem as to whether it ''really'' died unlaunched or not, as one very germane thing happened to Canadian weather radio transmitters ''between'' 2003 and now: they became ''exempt'' from having to have CRTC licenses at all because low-power and non-commercial, and thus now occupy a category very much like USian Part 15 stations. So the non-existence of a current CRTC license doesn't prove the non-existence of the transmitter in and of itself, but does make it essentially unverifiable ''regardless'' of whether it existed or not — so there's no value in keeping this as a redirect if we can't actually ''verify'' whether it exists or not
