Article about a low-power emergency alert radio station, with no
WP:GNG in lieu of having to have a broadcasting license.
And even more importantly, CHNW-FM definitely isn't its call sign anymore (if it ever really was in the first place, which I also can't verify): the CHNW call sign was adopted by an unrelated station in Winnipeg a few weeks ago, whose article was just moved to the non-standard naming format CHNW (FM) earlier today and has to be moved again to supersede the low-power New Westminster emergency station at this title regardless of what we decide to do about the emergency station.
So the existence of a low-power emergency information service (with the call sign VE7NWR rather than CHNW) could be briefly mentioned in New Westminster's article and Media in Vancouver, but the station doesn't have a CRTC license for the purposes of qualifying for its own separate article as a standalone topic.

- @Bearcat: I just moved this page to CHNW-FM (British Columbia) and then the Winnipeg station to the undisambiguated title. The BC station page should be deleted per nom. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:26, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

- Delete: The sources cited pertain more to a public figure than the radio station. Not much indication of notability or that it meets criteria for its own entry in the articlespace. More sources need to be added. Multi7001 (talk) 03:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
