[edit] Callers of WFAN
This article appears to be a case of listcruft, stringing together a list of non-notable callers to various radio shows. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:50, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete the stand-alone article. The information was split from the main WFAN article, and has since been replaced there. The information, however, is very notable as several WFAN callers have become as popular as the station's hosts (and one former caller became a host hiimself). Perhaps the list can be pared down, but its inclusion is very important to the article as a whole. Rollosmokes (talk) 07:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Delete Should be a Speedy. scope_creep (talk) 12:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Pair it down if you want, but this should remain in the main article. Not all of those callers are notable in the way Rollosmokes describes. - Mgm|(talk) 15:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete with apologies to John from Sandy Hook, et al. While the WFAN article can include whatever its editors want, we don't need articles about callers to any radio program. It reminds me of the front page story in The Onion about the Ohio forklift operator who was going to deliver a nationwide address on the Rush Limbaugh show. Mandsford (talk) 18:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Being a person who calls into a local radio show is not evidence of notability, especially since we don't even have full names for these people. Very poorly referenced and even without full names provided, claims about the behavior of certain callers, such as one labelled as intoxicated, cause concern for me under WP:BLP. 23skidoo (talk) 19:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
