The article is built on three sources: a Wikipedia article, a blog post of sort and a short piece from a non-independent source. I have found nothing that comes close to independent secondary coverage; a Google search gives you lots of places to listen to this station but not much else. Note, also, that the creator appears to have a conflict of interest. Modussiccandi (talk) 22:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Zero hits on Google News. Two hits on Google Books that didn't pan out. I can't find any GNG passing sources. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - an India-centred search yielded no reliable, independent sources. This, along with searches conducted by users above, show that it's quite unlikely that this radio station meets WP:GNG. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 23:13, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • As this is newly started small Konkani community/language based Internet radio and spreading gospel songs, messages..etc. It is slowly reaching out to people and people are listening to it.. related links provided under title external links within the article. kindly let me know strong reason for deleting this article Godwin Castelino (talk)
In case any errors or mistakes in the article kindly help me to rectify the same and keep corrected article as per guidelines Godwin Castelino (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 06:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Godwin Castelino: The problem, Godwin, is that our guidelines on notability for radio stations tell us that this station does not meet the requirements to have an article on the encyclopedia. It is generally much harder for an internet-only station to meet the guidelines in WP:NRADIO that apply to broadcast stations that hold a license to broadcast on AM, FM, DAB, etc.:

Notability can be established by either a large audience, established broadcast history, or being the originator of some programming.

The station fails the radio notability guideline and the general notability guideline, having had no coverage in reliable sources. Delete. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 07:34, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
