Talk:The Hideout

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article employs inappropriate extrapolation ("will be on the air for a long, long time"), lacks referenced assertions ("always on the lookout for the next job", "psycho-stalker fan"), exaggerations ("incredibly helpful"), and is extremely full of very inconsequential details. Basically it's non-encyclopedic, trivial, hyperbole coverage of a minor local radio talk show, and perhaps even entirely self-promotional. It needs to be significantly trimmed down with a large, blunt editorial instrument. :) — RJH 16:28, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

It does look suspiciously like someone very close to the show wrote it. On the other hand, it's no more "promotional" than other fan-written radio show articles (see: Opie and Anthony or Howard Stern; the very reason it looks so self-promotional is the sheer amount of factual content, more than Don and Mike, Tom Leykis, or Ron and Fez articles.

If the article is considered notable enough to survive the VfD, I'll be happy to come back and clean it up. No sense doing anything at the moment, tho :) Kutulu 01:52, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

This should be added to the article.
