Delete. Low-power community radio station, for which it's unverifiable as to whether it satisfies WP:NMEDIA or not. The only source here is the original CRTC authorization, but that actually says nothing about what the station was going to broadcast (i.e. whether it was an originator of its own programming, or a community-owned rebroadcaster of another service.) And because VF stations are now exempt from CRTC licensing requirements, in the same manner as Part 15 stations in the US, they are no longer granted a presumption of notability if their operational status and/or programming source are unverifiable.

Delete; the presumption of notability for broadcast stations doesn't necessarily extend to VF stations, and I'm not finding much in the way of reliable sources to satisfy the general notability guideline. (Plus, with so little out there in general about this station, it is unlikely to be anything more than a permastub anyway.) --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:49, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to Call_signs_in_Canada#Assignments. Alternatively, create a new VF Radio Stations In Canada (or something like that) and redirect there. Sounds like it might make an interesting topic. -- RoySmith (talk) 12:15, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
