Welcome!
[edit]Hello, BostonRadioGeek, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

The article WFNX-LP has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The station is very new to air (November 1, 2024) and lacks independent significant coverage. It is generally the case that new stations in the last 10 years lack this due to decreased coverage of broadcast radio. A mention that this station exists is merited in WBWL (FM) if there is even one non-database source about it linking it to the old WFNX.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- Hi Sammi. Thank you for reviewing the article on WFNX-LP. I'm confused as to why this is flagged for deletion. I understand that the station is new, but it has received coverage in Scott Fybush's NorthEast Radio Watch as well as on Boston area social media pages where individuals are excited that the WFNX legacy continues to bring new indie artists to the airwaves. I also see other newer LPFMs and NCEs with wiki articles that have not been flagged deletion. This article is factual and does not contain any false or misleading information. Just wanted to understand the justification and if this is the same bar that other newly launched non-commercial stations are held to. I can provide the recent article from Scott Fybush which is currently behind a paywall.
- Here is the text from Scott Fybush's article.
- A familiar MASSACHUSETTS callsign has returned to the air, and not far from its original frequency. On the South Shore, Scituate Community Radio is on the air at 101.3 as WFNX-LP, reviving the calls that long defined alternative rock on 101.7 in Lynn (today’s iHeart-owned WBWL).
- The new WFNX is “101.3 the Coast,” playing “world class” classic rock and providing community information to Scituate, Humarock, Marshfield and Norwell.
- Thank you for your advice and guidance. BostonRadioGeek (talk) 02:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
