• Delete. Non-encyclopedic. Will consider changing vote upon arguments from established editors demonstrably from Ireland. EvilPhoenix talk 00:54, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unencyclopedic local radio show CDC (talk) 02:26, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I'm demonstrably from Ireland. The page is accurate, the show exists, and is relatively well known in Dublin. Notable? I don't know what the threshold is for ghastly morning-commute radio shows and don't care. Ben-w 03:20, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable Irish radio program as per Ben-W. If decided not to be notable, please have as redirect to the sixties band Strawberry Alarm Clock who had a huge hit with "Incense and Peppermints". Capitalistroadster 05:40, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 06:39, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If anywhere, this belongs in the page about the radio station. Almafeta 16:21, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Should be kept and added to the FM104 page. The show IS very well known in Dublin. Tunney 00:59, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with FM104. It's on the bubble of notability IMHO, though I suspect the standards for what makes a notable drive-time radio show depends a great deal on the size of the radio market in question. Just as an example, I'd take as a minimum standard Loren and Wally from Boston's WROR -- they are so well known in the Boston radio market that their parody songs have been played on other stations in the area from time to time, and their presence pretty much overshadows every other jock at the station (Matt Siegel, from WXKS in the same market, probably also qualifies). That said, I would ironically consider their station to be non-notable -- it's not exactly a cookie cutter station, its format defies easy categorization (classic hits, I believe it's best known as), but they are not the first station to hold those call letters and they're one of a stable owned by a fairly minor conglomerate whose major claim to fame is being early adopters of HD Radio. I would argue that if we were to assume some validity to the "Loren and Wally" test, altogether very few jocks meet the standard to begin with, and few of those jocks would be outside major markets. (I don't consider syndicated jocks in the same category -- they tend to be inherently notable. This "test" applies strictly regionally.) Haikupoet 04:38, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Merge into FM104: A Google search for ("The Strawberry Alarm Clock" +FM104), with quotes as noted, returns 634 results. I find it non-notable for its own article, but if it truly is so well-known, put it into the FM104 article. -- CABHAN TALK CONTRIBS 04:41, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
