[edit] GeekSpeak
Non-notable local radio show/web content. Searches yield Technobabble. Prod contested without rationale. Jfire (talk) 16:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Weak Keep If its currently being broadcast on NPR and has been since 1998, then I think that could be considered an assertion of notability. Needs a rewrite though, reads like a promo. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 17:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- If it were broadcast nationally it would be, but it appears to be only local NPR affiliates. Jfire (talk) 17:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep but needs a re-write maybe its the best thing to delete the page and start over with this one.Thright (talk) 19:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep with improvement. It has been around for a while, and I'm sure notability can be established. It's just a matter of someone improving the article. Celarnor (talk) 20:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's been tagged as needing to establish notability since May 2007, and nobody has stepped up. Jfire (talk) 21:32, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Seems promising, don't see the problem of having a local radio show featured, though it seems to bug the nominator. Should also mention that it ties in a few different tech personalities from different tech companies and fields. As the article states, it's a big presence in its niche field. I could see how the uninformed reader doing a google search might interpret the results as technobabble. My understanding of the results is that most of them talk about the term "Geek Speak" as well as a few podcasts. Seems good enough to me. 69.143.226.129 (talk) 05:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- delete - I've heard of the show before, and have downloaded it. So I'm not against the show. However... this article is little more than a promotional piece right now, and has no outside sources asserting the notability of the show. And I can't see how a weekly techie radio show/podcast would become notable enough for an article on Wikipedia - unless it were something like Off the Hook, notable because of its host and its association with the notable 2600 magazine. So, fails WP:RS, no sources, and not even any assertion of notability beyond the standard promo-piece peacocking. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 18:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
