The result was delete. Closed as delete based on strength of arguments. Notability not established per NMEDIA, as this is a public access cable station, not a broadcast station. No other criteria for notability has been set forth. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 20:26, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

College tv station for a satellite campus of the University of Virginia. Even if the station was broadcast from the main campus, it would still have questionable notability, but a station from a school with less students than the average community college clearly fails WP:GNG. Only source is the school's website and youtube. Rusf10 (talk) 00:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Since this is not a regular television station broadcast over the public airwaves, it isn't presumed automatically to be notable, but needs to demonstrate notability from significant coverage in independent reliable sources. This article has no independent reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:07, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge to University of Virginia's College at Wise. Stations broadcasting original content are presumed notable according to oir guidelines. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:51, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- does not meet WP:NORG and significant RS coverage not found. Student TV stations are generally not kept in the absence of good sourcing. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:32, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets the SNG for Broadcast stations, to wit: Because of the public interest served, most television stations that produce original content should be presumed notable for Wikipedia purposes. See: media. Carrite (talk) 10:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's for over-the-air television, for cable, " Generally, national or regional cable channels are presumed notable. Public access cable stations are not presumed notable unless they serve a major city or a large regional area. For example, a statewide public access channel, or a channel for all of New York City could be presumed notable. A "governmental access" feed that runs a text generator of community events plus city council meetings for a population of 50,000 is not generally presumed notable, but can be conferred notability by meeting the standards set forth in WP:CORP."

Delete I was surprised that Cavalier TV - which I took at first glance as a station at UVA, one of America's great universities - should be at AfD. Then I realized that this is the station not of UVA but of the University of Virginia's College at Wise, yes, Virginia, there is a university of Wise. I can't source it - at all. Not even under the nickname "Cavalier TV" (UVA's teams are "Cavaliers",) although there is/was a commercial TV channel called "Cavalier TV" in Richmond that shows up in news searches. This one, however, appears to be an example of a non-notable college TV station.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:53, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
