[edit] Tom Mabe

Tom Mabe (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Little or no assertion of notability, minimal context. Still looks speedy-able in its current form. --Finngall talk 17:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep clear notability, SqueakBox 17:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Tom Mabe has appeared on The Bob and Tom Show numerous times. As it is a nationally syndicated radio show, that asserts his notability. He is well known for his role reversal pranks on telemarketers. He was interviewed on CNN, here is the transcript. I'm sure there are other sources like this one out there. I only looked for a couple of minutes. While the article may be short it can be expanded. --Cyrus Andiron 18:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. A well known Louisville area comedian. He's released three comedy records that are listed on Amazon.com. His shtick involves making up bizarre responses to telemarketers and recording the conversations he has with them. (The bit where he asks a carpet cleaning telemarketer about how good they are at removing bloodstains, and whether they can get out all of the DNA, is classic.) Various news archives suggest he's attracted reprint interest from The Washington Post[1] and The Guardian[2], unfortunately the links are broken. At any rate, this stub is definitely expandable. - Smerdis of Tlön 20:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Notable person, but needs more information.J'onn J'onzz 12:47, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
