The result was Keep per WP:SNOW. Although not chiseled in stone, it is commonly accepted that licensed radio stations are generally notable; between that and the addition of sources, I think that this calls for an early (non-admin) closure.

Unnotable radio and broadcast. Lack of sources. Fails per WP:Notabality. HeLLboy2HeLL (talk) 04:09, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy keep. Licensed radio stations are always considered notable. See http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_91653 for an announcement by the regulator that the station's request for an increase in power had been approved. --Eastmain (talk) 04:29, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

:Question. Is there a policy or guideline that says licensed radio stations are always notable, or is it a general consensus that has come out of previous deletion discussions? Jons63 (talk) 08:24, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Keep Government licensed permanent radio stations are always considered notable. Article does need improvement but not deletion. - Dravecky (talk) 05:39, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Keep per Dravecky above. It's licensed by the Australian equivalent of the Federal Communications Commission/CRTC is, very notable, but the articles does need cleanup and wikify, etc. MrMarkTaylor ^{What's that?/What I Do/Feed My Box} 06:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Weak Keep, I strongly disagree that just having a licence makes a radio station notable, but in this case it was the first station in the area to broadcast, so probably has notability that way. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 06:36, 2 August 2008 (UTC).
Comment: There are pages for other Grant Broadcast stations such as 2NM- [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2NM]. 2EC's footprint is enormous- around 200 km * 50 km, and per Lankiveil was the first commercial broadcaster in its area. This is my first article, so I'm not yet versed in editing- please feel free to wikify it as you please.- Mrclickettycane 2nd August 2008 0811 UTC.
Keep It's significant in that local area. --Lester 10:56, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Keep In no way are licensed radio stations always notable, but this one is. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 14:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
