Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DZMD
In order for a radio station to qualify for an article, we require |reliable source coverage to properly |verify that the station actually meets the notability criteria for radio stations (which I already enumerated above in reply to Trackinfo, so I won't repeat here.) It is not enough, however, to simply cite archived copies of the station's own self-promotional materials — we ''have'' seen people try to legitimize hoax articles about radio stations that didn't really exist by ''creating'' fake websites and fake press releases to "verify" that the stations really existed, so that kind of source material does ''not'' clinch a station's notability at all: what we require is ''independent'' sources, such as articles in the local newspaper about the radio station's launch. So no, the new sources Trackinfo has been adding don't cut it
