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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Move per nom. The current arrangement made sense when WQQW Illinois was still active — but now that they're both defunct, and a new radio station could now take the WQQW calls tomorrow if it wanted them, the one in Illinois can't keep primary topic rights anymore.

Unnecessary....for now: Unless there is another station that is already requesting the WQQW callsign, this station is the "current" holder of the callsign.
Bearcat:
WP:CRYSTAL comes into effect here since we don't know if another station will request the callsign tomorrow. Though, if a station requests the callsign in the future, I will support the move wholeheartedly. -

Support rename and make "WQQW" a disambiguation page: Since full-time
WQQW (Connecticut) had that callsign for 20 years, it's unlikely that this daytime-only Illinois station, that used the callsign for only 10 years, is the primary topic. Per
WP:PARENDIS, we should use parenthetical qualifiers only if no other better form of qualification exists. This Highland IL station has 2 former callsigns, WINU and WDID: But
WINU is a current station, and
WDID has been used for three other stations in the past (
WTIM (AM) Assumption IL,
WDID-LP Savannah GA, and its sort-of successor
WDID-LP Savannah GA); therefore, there is no former callsign for which this Highland IL station is primary topic either. --
