Delete Cite/reference tag added 7 months ago, no work has been done to improve since, station has been defunct for over 20 years, article uses weasel words, article provides little to no encyclopedic value and large portions of article are copypasted from other webpages verbatim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nefariousski (talk • contribs) 01:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Once notable, always notable. The fact that a station or company no longer operates is not a reason to delete an article. Licenced television stations are always notable. As for the claims of plagiarism, please indicate what has been copied from where. Removing copyvio text is better than deleting an article. - Eastmain (talk • contribs • count) 02:20, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep. What part of the article is copied and pasted from other web sites? "Defunct for over 20 years" is not a valid deletion reason, or we'd have no articles on DuMont Television Network or Paramount Television Network. Company history was apparently cited by the Supreme Court of the Philippines here, more info can easily be found. Firsfron of Ronchester 03:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to DWWX-TV#History. Mandsford (talk) 14:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, misguided nomination. No evidence of plagiarism/copyvio provided. Notability exists in the fact that it was a licensed TV station. The article could use a serious touchup though. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 00:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, still needs resources, but is notable and had a substantial role in Philippine television during Martial Law. Blake Gripling (talk) 03:26, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, although this station is defunct decades ago, it is notable since it took over ABS-CBN, one of the leading networks in the Philippines during the Martial Law era. -WayKurat (talk) 10:43, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and Move to DWWX-TV#History and ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation#History. - Gabby 18:51, 17 January 2010 (PST).
