Rationale for deletion of disambiguation page[edit]

Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the acronym for a United Kingdom trade organisation is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the Wine and Spirit Trade Association. - Dravecky (talk) 11:15, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 06:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC).[reply]

, hooks are mentioned and have been verified. (AGF on paywalled NYTimes article). I like ALT0 better. A qpq has been conducted. Article was expanded from 697 B to 4029 B of prose, indeed over a 5x expansion. I wish the article could be brought up to present day, but this is good to go regardless.

- @Eddie891: You might notice there's a reference from this week with his death. The station strikes me as not having changed a lot in the last 35 to 40 years. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:10, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:20, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
