No evidence of notability. The best source is an obituary of the founder. Other sources show that it exists but little else. A recent conversion to a redirect was immediatly reversed. Fails WP:GNG. Velella Velella Talk 11:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Redirect to List of radio stations in Vermont: Newer radio stations are far less likely to meet the GNG owing to the decreased likelihood of attaining significant coverage, regardless of how much local (rather than national) programming may exist.By 2024 standards, we really don't need much more than an {{ R to list entry}} as an alternative to deletion.(The contested redirect was to the list of community radio stations in the United States, but that islimited to stations with Wikipedia articles
— to me, that does not make a valid ATD.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)- For the record, at the risk of bringing up the proverbial "
other stuff that exists", I did want to point out that if WOOL is not determined to be sufficiently notable, its LPFM predecessor
WOOL-LP would probably also be a GNG fail. (They really should not be separate articles in any event, and that they are is if anything a remnant of the very same too-loose pre-
2021 RfC inclusion standards
that led to WOOL seemingly being deemed an appropriate article subject at all.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 23:09, 9 June 2024 (UTC) - I was already considering merging those two articles but had not been able to handle it due to issues on my end. I've dealt with the reverse (full-service FM license switched to LPFM, in both cases an upgrade from Class D) and written them as one article (
KSWC-LP,
KSWH-LP).

- Owing to the recent rewrite, merger, and expansion, I'm pivoting to keep. If nothing else, all this is a reminder that "far less likely" does not mean "zero chance"! WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 08:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

- Keep I am working on collecting resources for the entire WOOL run (LP + FM). There is a steady trickle of articles on this station in newspapers in Brattleboro and Rutland—better coverage than most LPFMs.

- Keep: Sammi Brie added sources to the article, so I guess that's good.
- Also, WOOL-LP has been merged/directed to the WOOL-FM (Full Power) article. mer764KCTV5 / Cospaw (He/Him | Talk • Contributions) 04:36, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
