[edit] Andrew Patterson

Was prodded b/c "relevance unclear". I am deprodding and taking to AfD precisely because there is some significance, but it's not clear how much, and consensus is needed. This is a host of a real radio show on a station in Guelph, Ontario, which is not exactly a primary market. It's a once-weekly show and runs from midnight to 2AM. That's as bad as a radio slot gets. Yet I am not sure if we should be deleting this article for a bona fide radio host. No vote - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:20, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

• • My vote is Move to Free Cheese and redo as article about radio show, which is an article all will find acceptable, I think. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Thanks, TBC - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I would be ok with this move, as long as it avoids the same problems that the Andrew Patterson article had. Namely, it still needs to be shown that the radio show has some significance. To bring up the example I used below, I think everyone would agree with me that a random college DJ isn't notable. To expand it to the idea of a Free Cheese article, it wouldn't make the college DJ any more notable if he got a partner and named his timeslot.Warhorus 02:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, it's a verifiable radio show on a real commercial radio station. I don't think that's deletable, as we're not paper, etc. etc. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:07, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As someone whom works part time in radio, I know how grueling it can be and how exciting it can be to be recognized. But, this hardly seems notable. It seems cruel, but he doesn't warrant a page yet. Yanksox 01:50, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete based on information included in article. Just because he is a radio host doesn't make him notable. Perhaps if some information can be further gathered that shows that there is something that makes him stand out as a notable subject? Unusual fanbase? Record high ratings? Notable charity work? Anything? As it stands, he isn't any more notable than the kid spinning tunes at his college radio station, except he gets paid.Warhorus 01:52, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I wanna see an article on his radio show "Free Cheese" first, and prove that the show is notable before creating this one. -EdGl 01:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Perfect. That is the answer. After this AfD, no matter the result, I will include this info in Free Cheese. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 01:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable person. Don't move to Free Cheese, which was already deleted as vanity and non-notable [1]--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 02:42, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Good call. Even stronger reason why this should be deleted. I guess the Crazy Russian has to alter his decision. -EdGl 02:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --JChap 03:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, nn-bio. --Terence Ong 09:16, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Doesn't pass any of the WP:BIO criteria. Kevin 10:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete misses WP:Bio by a little too much Crazynas 12:06, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
