[edit] Pat Battle

• Keep Comeon. There's entries for many stupid things here on wikipedia. Pat battle isn't one of them. Keep the entry!!. -Rob Yoot ☯ 21:39, 2005 July 26 (EST)
• Keep Everything in the article is accurate and true, some of those voting to delete haven't even read enough to realize Pat is woman. Please do not delete this. -Paul Couture ☯ 21:23, 2005 July 23 (EST)
• Keep I think the Pat battle section contributes a lot to wikipedia. SHe is famous in our area. Please do not delete this. Note: I vandalized the vote by accidnet. sorry please delete my IP. Update: I delted my IP if that is Okay with you guys. Anyways Pat battle is a very popular person in the NY area and I can't see the harm of it being on Wikipedia?
  • Note:The above is an unsigned vote from 24.62.**.** who vandalized several votes. NYTVGuy 18:35, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. NN. 44 Google hits. No claim to notablilty in article, other than he's on TV and has a funny name. --A D Monroe III 03:18, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Week Keep This needs a wickedly major clean up. The Opie and Anthony radio program is national, so perhaps some Opie and Anthony fan, assuming they have the IQ to work a computer, get on the internet, and find Wikipedia would want to try and figure out who this Pat Battle is.

  • Change vote to Keep as it was cleaned up a majorly and due to the fact that she won an Emmy. FunkyChicken! 05:57, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if notable in NYC and environs. Kappa 03:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I have edited the article into something coherent and Wikipedia-like, categorized it and stubbed it. This will give those radio listeners who don't know who she is context, and TV viewers throughout the Americas who watch WNBC some biographical information which has the potential to be added to later.

• Keep. The edit by NYTVGuy looks good. Further expansion would, of course, look even better. Aerion//talk 04:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep The article is not the same when it was started and has improved greatly. I have crossed paths with Pat a few times professionally and she is one of the best reporters out there by covering her beat very well. Plus she is a very nice person and has great on-air skills, as evidenced recently when she was hounded by some Opie and Anthony fans while doing a stand-up live shot in New Jersey. She is one of the better anchors and reporters in the entire NYC/NJ area and she got an Emmy this year! Now off to add some stuff to the article! UncleFloyd 04:36, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Winning a New York Emmy makes her notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 05:04, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete There are thousands of Emmy winners who are non-notable. Should Wikipedia be filled with info on the sports guy from Bumblesnort, Montana and the name of his dog? DiceDiceBaby 15:25, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment She is not in Bumblesnort, Montana, she is in New York which is the biggest televison market in the country. Her station is also seen in many places outside of New York, including Latin America, the Carribean, and in places in the US there is no NBC affiliate. Plus she is a person referenced on a national radio show, so that means she has more notablity than ths sports guy from Bumblesnort. NYTVGuy 15:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep any and all biographies on Emmy Award winners. Hall Monitor 18:42, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete borderline notable at best - 44 Google hits is scraping it. JamesBurns 03:52, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I seemed to have gotten around 75 to 125 relevant Google hits, not including a couple of pages that were in Chinese, using various search permutations. NYTVGuy 05:10, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Just on the wrong side of notability. Indrian 15:12, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
