No improvement on the declined draft Draft:Desmond Antwi. This article doesn't seem to pass WP:NRADIO, which refers to WP:GNG. I note that the radio station is mentioned in passing in a few reliable sources like GhanaWeb and Ghana Soccernet but we need more than passing mentions for an article.

Delete I do not see independent coverage of this radio station, even though it is in the Accra area. I suspect its recent creation is part of the reason. A possible redirect ATD is List of radio stations in Greater Accra Region, though like many lists of its kind that thing is a cruft and spammy links magnet.

- I wouldn't even suggest the redirect target now that I've figured out this is not even a broadcast station. One source lists it at 102.7, but I cannot find mention of the frequency in their social media. The 102.7 frequency in Accra has been licensed to someone, but it's not on air.

Excellent work on this. I agree that we're safer not having an ATD and deleting for those reasons. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Soft-deletion not an ideal way forward given how recent the creation is, relisting to form genuine consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 18:58, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and Sammi Brie. Broadcast stations are not inherently notable, but this being a brand new webcast-only station makes it even less likely that it's going to meet GNG in the foreseeable future. It can be recreated if it generates sufficient coverage to be considered notable. Flip Format (talk) 14:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
