Tagged since January for notability. This appears to be an unlicensed station so no FCC records are available. doesn't show up in list of stations reaching the Air Force Academy. Is this station still active? Rtphokie (talk) 12:33, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Per the article, it is a hobby activity of students at a college (the Air Force Academy) and has no references which are reliable and independent. It is great for college students to have a hobby activity, but no more notable than an intermural softball team. Notability of the academy is not inherited by every student activity at the academy.

• Comment Not FCC, but apparently because they are an arm of the federal government they don't need the FCC. From a blog: "Instead, they operate under authorization from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, NTIA. ". I'd want to see what power they broadcast at and I'd like to see something that meets WP:N, but I think it has a chance... Hobit (talk) 20:00, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to RadioStationWorld, KAFA is a 20 watt station.[1] That's not trivial, but it still needs evidence of reaching the surrounding community. • Gene93k (talk) 20:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep I've added a few references from reliable secondary sources, an infobox, and done some general cleanup as well. The station, licensed by the US government, has a 44 year history and is clearly a part of both the Air Force Academy and Colorado Springs communities. A quick Google News search [2] shows that the
  Colorado Springs Gazette has included the station in its general listing of area radio stations for at least the last 15 years. It also shows community involvement and other activities. Could article use continued improvement and more references from somebody with better access to Colorado Springs media archives? Sure, but the station easily meets the notability test and is now at least somewhat referenced. - Dravecky (talk) 22:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply

• Keep per Dravecky as licensed full-power radio station with an established history. • Gene93k (talk) 23:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Withdrawn I'd like to withdraw this, the article has been siginficantly improved with many more references than before.--Rtphokie (talk) 23:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• speedy keep at this point. Hobit (talk) 19:47, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
