Delete. While Canadian VF stations formerly had to have a conventional CRTC license, making them eligible for inclusion on the same grounds as a full-power station with a real CXXX call sign, they have since become exempt from CRTC licensing -- with the result that their operational status is no longerverifiable at all because the CRTC doesn't have to publish any decisions or notices about it anymore, and thus stations of this type have now been deprecated asnot satisfyingWP:NMEDIA anymore except in the unlikely event that adequate media coverage can be located to get them overWP:GNG. But even theone other source here, its history page at theCanadian Communications Foundation, gives the station's original commencement of broadcast operations as "undated". Which means proper RS coverageclearly doesn't exist, if even an internal project of theCanadian Association of Broadcasters can't locate the launch date.Bearcat (talk)21:42, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete; this is yet another religious VF station that exists to broadcast church services and little else, and thus have been exempt from CRTC licensing since 2013. Thepresumed notability for broadcast stations does not extend to these stations, and they don't have (and generally aren't going to have) the sufficient coverage inreliable sources to satisfy thegeneral notability guideline. I'll note that most if not all of the Canadian Communications Foundation histories for these church stations (including the ones associated for stations whose articles have already beendeleted atAFD) follow the same pattern of listing the original licensing, an undated "began broadcasting", and the effective-immediately 2013 CRTC exemption. --WCQuidditch☎✎01:30, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
