Subject does not meet the WP:GNG as a former satellite radio station. A WP:BEFORE check only came up with this https://www.punknews.org/article/30459/xm-radio-punk-station-fungus-53-replaced-with-24-7-ac-dc. A redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels seems sensible but I'm open to other opinions. Let'srun (talk) 16:45, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

• Redirect as suggested seems fine, nothing showing it was in some way more notable than any other channel. Oaktree b (talk) 17:40, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels, where it is mentioned, per everyone else; this is the logical alternative to deletion for otherwise non-notable pre-merger XM channels (if not associated with another notable parent entity). Even the old overpresumption of notability that the NRADIO essay attempted to presume prior to 2021 still {{oldid|Wikipedia:Notability (media)|1019769913#Broadcast_media|actually presumed non-notability for satellite radio channels}}, all but requiring {{tq|independent media coverage}} for any notability that could be attained (though not explicitly deferring to GNG the way the current version of essay does). The existing sources—a press release and a message board—don't even approach that standard, much less GNG. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:27, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
