[edit] The Wack Pack
This article resembles a fansite, primarily consists of original research, and lacks verifiable sources. Nearly all references are from the radio show's official site or fan blogs. Rtphokie (talk) 12:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep This really isn't a great candidate for deletion. If anything, the article is mostly an atrocious list that needs to be trimmed and possibly merged to a paragraph form, but it's existence is certainly warranted. The topic "Wack Pack" is notable and is a long-existing, huge part of the Howard Stern show. I might agree with more of a list form without the bios for each wack-packer (which I agree are hard to verify), but the article should stay. Gwynand | Talk/Contribs 13:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep. Obviously notable subject; article has too much information to be merged into the The Howard Stern Show article. Does need cleanup and referencing but deletion is not the proper route. Powers T 13:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. AfD is not forced cleanup. Notable radio show hosted by notable host; plenty of news sources available. Nominator should have followed regular procedure and done his own searches prior to nomination. Celarnor Talk to me 13:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Clean up, don't delete. Obviously notable. Broooooooce (talk) 14:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Keep I sympathize with the nominator, as the current article is complete (but IMO utterly fascinating) garbage. However, this is an integral, notable, verifiable component of perhaps the most popular radio program in the world. Might want to scrub the article for BLP concerns though.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back (talk) 14:44, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Withdrawn with the assumption that references like the above will be added to this article.--Rtphokie (talk) 15:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
