[edit] Bruce Jacobs

Bruce Jacobs (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Local radio talk show host in Phoenix; sole claim to fame seems to be extremely minor controversy (I could find one story in Google News Archives and that was in the Phoenix newspaper) claiming that an AP reporter was engaged in "boinkage" with her boss. Don Imus he ain't. ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 14:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC) ObiterDicta ( pleadings • errata • appeals ) 14:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Google search brings up several verifiable sources, including Fox News and Hannity.com. VxP 14:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
can you add them to the article so we can see if they are substantial.DGG (talk) 15:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree that that's what needs to be done, but I don't really have enough interest in the article to do it. VxP 19:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete "Boinkage" incident aside, there doesn't seem to be anything substantial. The Hannity.com seems to be a picture of Jacobs, due to Hannity's visit to Jacob's radio station (apparently, Jacobs sounds like Hannity). The only other thing I could find is an article on how he joined FoxSportsNet 5 years ago. Mostly, he's known for childish "pranks". He once said, on-air, that an Arizona newspaper was being sold to the parent company of another Arizona newspaper (Oooh, edgy!). He doesn't seem to be much known outside Arizona and the article looks like a PR or maybe a fan wrote it. If substantial sources are found, I'll change my vote.--Sethacus 15:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
