[edit] Jason Morrison (and Glenn Wheeler)

Non-notable radio talk show host and possibly WP:NOT. Article creator has added several articles on radio station 2GB talk show hosts, most of which contain a fair bit of personal opinion and "chat" (which are content rather than deletion issues if otherwise notable) but really there seems little of any real substance to show why they should have a wikipedia article to themselves.

• Related article AFD nomination: Glenn Wheeler

• Same user has also edited a third 2GB-related talk show host Alan Jones (radio) but this one seems notable judging by article.

• Merge to 2GB for Morrison and 2UE for Wheeler. If no consensus to merge then Delete as non-notable presenters. Peripitus (Talk) 11:27, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge both to 2GB. --Coredesat 20:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to 2GB for Morrison and 2UE for Wheeler which are the stations that both men work at, delete otherwise as neither are notable enough as radio presenters to warrant a stand alone article. For the record, Alan Jones is very notable both as Sydney's most listened to breakfast announcer and as a former Australian rugby coach. Capitalistroadster 03:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 03:40, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to 2GB article, I am suspicious as to why the nominator was nominating at all if they had not heard of Alan Jones. Alan Jones is only the most famous (IMO) radio presenter in Australia, and not knowing this would mean they are not sufficiently well informed to make notability statements about the others from the same station. Maybe it is better not to follow users around and comment on their related edits in a deletion discussion. Ansell 05:16, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Quick answer: Nominator knows nothing of radio presenters in that country. However.... it was likely from the articles themselves, that one was notable and the other two were unlikely to be. Which is basically what's being agreed by others who know more. (To answer your question, the basis for AFD was noting one NN creation, and checking the author's other recent edits as a matter of course. Its a commonsense check in case a person who's still learning WP policies, inadvertantly has created or edited other NN articles on a similar theme. Alan Jones was a similar theme.)

Agreed. An article should support its own notability, even to a reader with no familiarity with the subject. (I'll make an exception for highly technical subjects where some understanding of the field is required just to comprehend the article, but bios don't generally fall into this category.)--Calair 01:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge to 2GB as per above.--Calair 01:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
