The result was keep. Procedural Keep. For one thing, this is not a correctly formatted bundled nomination so these articles were not even tagged or their creators notified and this AFD is incorrect as well. Please follow instructions at WP:AFD for nominating multiple articles and follow them exactly. Liz Read! Talk! 22:29, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I suspect this bundled nomination will get bogged down by featuring both five-ten year stations only ever operated in this century, most of which never should have had articles (and only did because of the too-low inclusion standards of pre-2021 in this topic area), and 75-year stations that simply have no real current content. The only unifying factor is being "minimally-at-best-sourced articles on defunct radio stations", which is not necessarily a one-sized-fits-all circumstance. A 54-article nomination under any circumstance is also likely to be a trainwreck. (At most, only KPBB, KPBE, and KPBM should be bundled with KPBJ specifically as all four appear to be short-lived Paulino Bernal stations that were part of a network. KCLR (AM) also ended its existence in this network, but had a considerably longer history before that.) While a wider culling of undersourced if not unsourceable permastubs in this topic area is long overdue (and again, has been since that 2021 media notability RfC), this should be done over only a few (e.g. five-ten) non-bundled nominations at a time over many weeks, not all at once.

- Keep All from this WP:MASSNOM - First, AfD tags need to be added to all the articles nominated, save for KPBJ. Second, there are way too many noms here to evaluate for sources. Third, in going through one entry at random, (WJOS (AM)), I've found a reliable source (see this) which cites other reliable, offline sources. So, at the very least, WJOS should be kept, and I have a feeling more sources can be dug up for some other stations nominated. But there are just too many noms made all at once to be thoroughly considered. schetm (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural Keep. Too many nominations to consider carefully. The first one I spot checked, KPCQ had secondary sources, albeit probably not enough to keep it, but it shows that the nomination claim of "no secondary sources" is not correct. Jahaza (talk) 04:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural keep There are articles that should be deleted here. But I learned my lesson after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K04QR-D. There are stations here that look like DYK targets with the right paper as they clearly have lengthy operating histories. There are also stations that look ready to fail the GNG and get deleted by snow. But that should not be done in ill-advised bundles. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 01:52, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural keep: I figured I'd more formally make clear, per everyone else and my own previous comment, that this is an incorrectly-handled bundled mass nomination and these articles would be better deal with in a series of separate nominations. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
