5x expanded by Sammi Brie (talk) and Wcquidditch (talk). Nominated by Sammi Brie (talk) at 23:32, 20 June 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Article was 5x expanded in the last 7 days (548b to 2995b). Article is well-written and adequately cited. QPQ has been completed. No pings on Earwigs for close paraphrasing or copyvio. Hooks are cited and short enough for DYK; I think that ALT0 is more interesting than ALT1. Morgan695 (talk) 22:14, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WEZY (FM) → WCFW (FM)
WCFW (FM) → WEZY (FM)

– Per naming conventions, US radio station articles are titled at the current call sign. A few months ago, these two stations swapped call signs — of note, this actually reversed last year's call change at the radio station in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin (which had been WCFW for 54 years before then), so it might alternatively be prudent to send that station's article back to the base WCFW title in place of the current two-listing disambiguation page (in contrast, the station at Kewaunee, Wisconsin, is now the eighth broadcast station to be some permeation of WEZY in about that same timeframe).

WCFW (FM) → WCFW
WCFW → Deleted to make way for page move

– This station was WCFW for all but one of the last 55 years and recently had the call sign returned to it. If people are looking for the other station (now WEZY (FM)), the hatnote can easily lead them there. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support: As I at least alluded to in the prior move request (but admittedly wasn't quite sure how best to format it beyond being an "alternative"), returning this article to the base title is probably for the best, given that the notion that this station was ever not WCFW—and the now-WEZY was—ultimately turned out to be a relative blip in both stations' histories. (Once one gets past the naming conventions that called for this article to be renamed during that ultimately-not-even-one-year detour from the call sign, as best I can tell the primary topic for WCFW, at least from a radio standpoint, is the Chippewa Falls station — pretty much all the radio-related search results are about this station, and almost none, if even that, are about the Kewaunee station.)
