The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved. The article occupying the target name which would have pose a problem for the move has been deleted for another reason. (non-admin closure) –Ammarpad (talk) 12:59, 11 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

CJUI-FM → CKOO-FM – Callsign change approved Jan. 19th, 2018, by CRTC. We need to first determine if existing CKOO-FM changed its callsign or simply surrendered its license and rename its page and remove the redirect. Thanks Doug Mehus (talk) 02:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

The target article was moved to CKOO-FM Old. Even with that move, we still need to discuss this move. Moves where the proposed target itself requires moving because it is another existing article are usually controversial. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 04:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support. I ran an Industry Canada Spectrum Management search just to be safe, and it indeed ascribes the CKOO-FM call sign to FM 103.9 in Kelowna. As for the old station in Broadview SK, however, what I actually find is that on both Spectrum and Recnet, there's no trace of any station operating on 105.7 in Broadview SK at all. So, in fact, what we've really got here is another "jump the gun" situation where somebody started the article the same day the initial license decision was announced, but the station failed to get on the air in time and its license expired unbuilt. Which means it's a candidate for the trash bin, not a rename, because we don't keep articles about stations that only ever existed as unlaunched paper licenses — in fact, WP:NMEDIA requires us to wait until a station is verifiably on the air before we start a Wikipedia article about it, so the article should never actually have been created at all, let alone just minutes after the initial license was issued. I'll AFD it forthwith. Bearcat (talk) 04:51, 4 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support: Correct callsign, per REC Networks (which is the best you can do in Canada since the CRTC website isn't searchable like the FCC's), should be moved posthaste. Pinging Mlaffs. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 00:37 on February 11, 2018 (UTC)

Actually, just to be clear, the CRTC's website is searchable — the real issue in this instance is that the CRTC has nothing to do with the assignment or withdrawal of call signs (that's Industry Canada's purview, not the CRTC's). So the CRTC website would have been little help in this matter, but that's not because the site isn't searchable — it's just because this matter involved a call sign change and the CRTC has nothing to do with those. The reason we defer to REC Networks for external links on Canadian radio stations isn't that the CRTC website isn't searchable — it's that Industry Canada's call sign database, Spectrum Management, isn't linkable.
