Article fails WP:NOTABILITY Hu12 00:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Michael Krasny (talk show host)Keep per edits below Balloonman 00:43, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Obvious keep. Very important local radio show with high ratings and important material, has been on for 20-30 years. 300,000+ google hits, almost 2,000 news stories[1]. It is a different subject than the biographer of its long-time host. If the host leaves the show will likely continue. Wikidemo 00:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Actually, notability is not automatically inherited. --Hu12 01:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Over half of the hits are generic in nature, a fair number were simply dates/times, etc. Ultimately, I am not necessarily opposed to this page---IF it were more than a simple stub. As is, it needs to be redirected.Balloonman 01:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Krasney is notable, and the show is notable. The point is they are two different things, like the difference between the Tonight Show and Jay Leno, or Teri Gross and Fresh Air. Stub articles about notable subjects grow; they don't simply get deleted for paucity of content. I might add a sentence or two, in which case I'll provide a source.Wikidemo 01:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

The article makes zero claims to notability and is one sentence in length.Balloonman 01:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I have just expanded it slightly and added some references. Others can follow suit. It's a rather important show that no doubt will meet all the formal criteria for notability. It would be counterproductive to delete this kind of article.Wikidemo 02:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy keep - Nomination doesn't seem to have any point or merit. Notable program. No reason to prevent our readers from having a well documented article about this program. Badagnani 02:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep It is a notable program, and Wikidemo has done a great job on expanding and referencing the article. Tim Q. Wells 02:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: Per above. It is notable. - Rjd0060 04:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep per nom. Clubmarx 05:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep especially with Wikidemo's excellent cleanup. Sufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. ~Eliz81^(C) 06:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy keep - highly notable in itself, Michael Krasny aside - Alison ^❤ 07:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• comment After Wikidemo's excellent cleanup of the article, I'll withdraw the nom and close.--Hu12 20:17, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
