• Delete. Vanity. They have done an amazing job, and Jesus is the greatest person of all. Tempshill 30 June 2005 20:49 (UTC)
• Keep but redirect to a proper title and clean up. Deb 30 June 2005 20:52 (UTC)
• Keep, sort of. Focus on the Family radio productions are widely syndicated, sold in Christian bookstores, and series such as "Adventures in Odyssey," which already has its own page, have many fans outside of religion, merely because of the stories and voice acting. And many of their productions, like "Anne of Green Gables," are non-religious (though family oriented), and I seem to recall the latter being syndicated outside of Christian radio stations as well. Speaking as a radio fan/scholar and how few radio dramas are produced in the US these days, it's probably notable enough for an article. One might argue that it be merged with the general Focus on the Family page, but that focuses on the organization's religious agenda and history, so I think a seperation is not uncalled for. However, I agree, it would *definitely* need strong cleanup to avoid the vanity, the POV religious statements, provide more actual information and history, and of course, the lower-case. Sorry for going on, so, I guess keep if someone actually volunteers or is able to fix it within a short period; otherwise delete and let someone start a new page with the proper title and info.

• merge into Focus on the Family. Separation (argued in the prev. vote) may be easily done by sectioning. mikka (t) 30 June 2005 21:13 (UTC)

• Keep and cleanup per Aleal, and rename to Focus on the Family Radio Theatre. Certainly notable, because of what Aleal said; programs like Unshackled get their own articles too, due to their relative uniqueness among radio broadcasts today. --Idont Havaname 1 July 2005 05:01 (UTC)
• Delete, promo, vanity, not an encyclopedic topic on its own. Merge whatever can be merged into the Focus on the Family article. Kaibabsquirrel 1 July 2005 06:45 (UTC). Comment: This is a far cry from Unshackled, which *is* notable as a long running (~50 yrs) radio show produced by a venerable rescue mission in Chicago. Unshackled is notable, this one is not.Kaibabsquirrel 1 July 2005 06:51 (UTC)
• Delete, promo, perhaps make brief mention on Focus on the Family article. Ithacagorges 7 July 2005 00:18 (UTC)
