[edit] Don Daynard

It seems every radio announcer in Toronto in the last 10 years has been given a stub. Not all radio announcers are notable enough for an international project like wikipaedia Delete--Porturology 08:04, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

keep. four articles link to it, and wikipedia has no shortage of space for text I believe Astrokey44 09:16, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep. Some of the recent wave of Toronto adult contemporary radio edits are excessive - say, I'll take this moment to strip the redlinks to the midday and swing shift hosts at CJEZ - but Daynard's stature in Toronto and in Canadian radio broadcasting is, like him or the middle-of-the-road music stations he's worked or not, iconic. A leading morning radio host in Toronto over decades. We have credible articles on less famous Toronto radio hosts, a few of which I've largely written (eg. John Sanford Moore, Mark Elliot).

  • I've expanded the article to include his Toronto radio morning shows since the 1960s, roles on television, and his role in the international hit film Porky's. Samaritan 14:41, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Due to the length of time that Daynard spent on the air in Toronto and his popularity this article should be kept. Niloc 14:11, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• While I generally agree that local radio hosts shouldn't get Wikipedia articles unless they have some kind of extra notability, Don Daynard -- who has that extra notability -- is the wrong person to pull out as an example of a non-notable local radio host. Other than Daynard and Erin Davis, however, I'm personally unconvinced that anybody else at CHFI actually merits their own article. A lot of the edits in question were done by a user whose edit history is excruciatingly problematic. Keep this one, but don't turn it into a precedent for keeping local radio hosts.
