Future Deletion Discussions[edit]

Despite arguments that the call letters have been reassigned, the available sources seem to indicate that this was done as an expedient measure to protect the callsign from being used by others in the Chicago area. The buyer who bought the station and call letter assignment merely swapped the letters with a 'dark' station they also own. There's no evidence at this time that the 'new' station will begin broadcasting using these letters, but if/when they do, we can create this article in its own right. It seems to this editor that doing otherwise is ignoring the General Notability Guideline and using our Crystal Ball to see the future.

I believe future deletion discussions should take place at a proper Articles for Deletion venue, not a speedy. -- Avanu (talk) 02:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GNG, as typically applied to radio stations, is that any licensed station - transmitting or otherwise - is generally assumed to be notable. Strikerforce^{Talk Review me!} 03:02, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I put what I believe to be all the appropriate information about the new WKQX in the WWWN article. I did notice a source had the speculation that the owner was just trying to keep the call letters from being reassigned, but I was kind of concerned about the reliability of that source, plus it was getting too wordy for the section it was in. I also put a brief mention of the new WKQX in the lead. Ordinarily such a thing wouldn't go there, but for someone following the redirect, it needs to be there until there is an article for which there can be a hatnote.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
