[edit] Dark Star (radio personality)
NN local radio personality. Prod removed after dispute on orignial nominators talk page. EnsRedShirt 17:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. I don't see any mention of notability in that article, making it eligible for WP:CSD. --Brad Beattie (talk) 18:02, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- No vote but a merge or redirect to WCCO AM, the radio station in question, might be an idea, depending on the course of this AFD. -- saberwyn 06:48, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Weak keep - Google search on ("Dark Star" WCCO) brings up plenty of hits, with news articles from actual papers among them. Article needs to be re-written, but there's enough out there to meet notability guidelines, IMHO. TheRealFennShysa 19:42, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. I did a Google search too, but couldn't find anything that looked like a substantial press mention. A merge might work, too, and I might change my mind to "keep" if bonafide reliable source references can be produced, but even then I'd want to see a substantial rewrite to get rid of the self-promotional and "silly" language, like, "In his own opinion and agreed to by many regular listeners, Dark Star stole every moment he's been on the radio." In his own opinion, indeed. --Elonka 06:45, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per Elonka. I guess all the air-headed twaddle on how great this guy is does collectively represent an assertion of notability, unfortunately. A redirect would be pointless, as "Dark Star (radio personality)" is an unlikely search term. Sandstein 19:27, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into the radio station he works for. Keeping under the same title risks confusion with dark star (physics). 38.100.34.2 00:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Comment for those suggesting merge I just pared down the article to anything that could be considered note worthy. Basically its just his name and air time, which sounds like an ad. It also has a little info about his sign off line. If merged into the 'CCO article you might as well make a grid and put the programing schedule on it.. EnsRedShirt 12:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
