The article is just a copy of the "radio station" website (and yes I know permission has been granted via OTRS). I believe it should be deleted for a number of reasons
- COI - the only contributor is the CEO of the station. I believe this article to be nothing but a promotional vehicle. Wikipedia does not exist to promote or lend credibility to organisations.
- Notability - it is a small station which only broadcasts on the Internet and has no transmitters. I believe it fails the general notability guidelines.
- Nothing has been done to address the reasons for which the article was deleted before. It looks like the contributor has just waited a couple of months and simply recreated what was deleted before.

- Delete I declined a speedy (copyvio) following the OTRS ticket notification. However, a search has found nothing reliable (1 hit on Google News along the lines of "Pulse Community Radio will be holding xyz event" or similar). I cannot see that this radio station meets WP:N. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 10:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- These community-run radio stations are by their nature NN. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete same reasons as last month: not only non-notable, not even the most notable thing of this same name. Also COI/SPAM/self-advertising. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:29, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non notable - also worries about COI & promotional material.— Rod talk 13:16, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If they were actually transmitting on FM that would be notable, but since they are not, and newspapers have failed to mention them, I would say check again after they actually start transmitting and see if some coverage exists. In the mean time delete. Promotional text and POV text could be cleaned out so some reasons for deletion are not relevent. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
