- Redirect to List of radio stations in Wisconsin: this alternative to deletion as an {{R to list entry}} is about the best that can be done with an unsourced, never-sourced article about a relatively-new radio station. How this lasted nearly five years before finally being taken to AfD is beyond me (an identical creation today would, at best, probably be shipped to draftspace/AfC within weeks); even the old NMEDIA's overpresumption of notability still required reliable sources (a 2021 RfC established that there was no wider consensus for NMEDIA being anything more than an essay that provides advice as to how GNG can be met; this station comes nowhere near that).

- I went through the list a little more and believe WIWI-LP and WMWG-LP should also share the same fate, whatever the decision is. --~ฅ(ↀωↀ=)neko-channyan 16:13, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Redirect to List of radio stations in Wisconsin I've barely heard this station (since its signal range is limited to the Interstate 41 corridor in Milwaukee's western suburbs), and it's owned by Brookside Baptist Church (which I only know since I glanced the station's RDS when I heard it two weeks ago); outside its obvious use to carry the church's services, it seems to broadcast a classical format resembling that of WFMR (Milwaukee), which was a perpetually-moved classical format in the area. It doesn't even have any known website and isn't mentioned on the church's website, so redirection is the best course here. Nate • (chatter) 01:38, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
