Keep as subject of article appears to meet both verifiability or notability thresholds with sustained in-depth coverage in multiple reliable third-party sources. While pirate radio stations are not granted the same general notability that a government-licensed broadcast radio station enjoys, there is nothing inherent to pirate radio station articles that demands that deletion as long as they meet WP:GNG. - Dravecky (talk) 06:48, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep PCRL is notable due to its strong links with the Handsworth riots, a period of civil disorder in the UK on a par with the Los Angeles riots. PCRL's notability stems from its own in-house news coverage and in-house appeals for calm. Although a well-known reggae/Caribbean music station in its own right, the focus of this article is on the station's more memorable connections to civil unrest in Handsworth, Birmingham UK.

- Comment - should the information therefore not be merged into one or other pages regarding the Handsworth riots then? Rapido (talk) 23:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep One of several articles about notable radio stations nominated by the same editors, possible WP:COI. -- Scarpy (talk) 06:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - if you could explain the correlation of an accusation of "conflict of interest" with whether an article should get a "keep" or not, it would be most appreciated. Because that doesn't justify the retention of an article. Rapido (talk) 10:24, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
