It seems unlikely that a company that owns radio stations in only one market — Dubuque, Iowa, of course — could possibly attain the significant coverage needed to meet the GNG, much less NCORP. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:29, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, inevitably, to Dubuque, Iowa § Radio. (If WP:Library points us to better coverage, I'll change my decision.) --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No sources (violates WP:OR) to prove subject is notable. —Mjks28 (talk) 22:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. It might make more sense to merge and redirect KDTH to Radio Dubuque, since it is one of the 4 Radio Dubuque-owned stations. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That would seem undue to me — not only is KDTH not even the only Radio Dubuque station, but it is much older than the Radio Dubuque company (which has only owned the station since 2000). Any notability here rests with the individual stations (the company does not inherit any from that). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's good to know. Worth spending some time on the KDTH article as well then, to support with more/better citations. (Have come across newspaper articles in Newspapers.com referring to KDTH's longer history so think it should be straightforward.) Cielquiparle (talk) 06:00, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Any discussion on the proposed merger?

Comment. Added more coverage to the article. Leaning keep at the moment; still searching for more. At minimum, if we are to redirect, it would require a merge with the Dubuque, Iowa § Radio. Haven't added to either article yet, but there is coverage outside of the local newspaper that points out that Radio Dubuque is one of the few independents in an Iowa radio market dominated by Clear Channel Communications.
