• Keep: If a television or radio station closes permanently ("goes dark"), that doesn't mean it ceases to be notable. Once notable, always notable. Notability is not temporary. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:56, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
• :It appears the nominator is not asserting that the station lost notability for being defunct, but that it is a hoax — the nomination appears to be a follow-up to a declined {{tl|db-hoax}}. That said, the decliner, {{user|B}}, did say that any AfD nomination should {{tq|explain there why/how it was a hoax (e.g. evidence that this station does not exist)}} — I don't think a flat "is not exist" assertion is sufficient. (That said, any refutation of the "hoax" claim would require the beefed-up sourcing that probably would also be necessary to truly justify keeping — the Philippine broadcasting topic area is rife with insufficient sourcing and GNG failures. That means I can't really offer an actual opinion at the moment.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:04, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

• Delete. As {{u|Wcquidditch}} noted, coverage by broadcasting stations is generally limited, as they are not widely discussed. However, this particular station is local, and I don't believe local stations are usually considered notable unless they have distinguishing factors that set them apart. The article’s unreferenced content fails to show any such uniqueness. Given that notability is determined by WP:GNG, and no substantial coverage exists, I support deletion despite the industry's overall lack of coverage. AstrooKai (Talk) 02:50, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
