[edit] Uncle Johnny

Uncle Johnny (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article about a non-notable radio personality - see the two ghits. The article has not changed at all besides a cleanup and a linkless tag being added since its creation. Fails WP:BIO. His only claim to fame is that he's been around for 36 years, but I don't think that's as important as WP:BIO. Ultra-Loser [ T ] [ C ] 05:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment - I'd recommend not using google hits for this sort of thing - it's doubtful you'd find much information about a radio DJ from 25 years ago on the web anywhere. More likely to find references in magazines, newspapers, RADIO, etc.... --- RockMFR 14:15, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Google hits are irrelevant for work prior to the Internet, but if he were involved in any station promotions over the past ten years, his name would have popped up more than two times. But no Google links for his work in Orlando and Jackson in the past ten years indicate to me (and I was in radio for over a decade - I know the trade) that he has been pretty much low-keying it and thus not making himself notable (contrast this with, say, Rick Shaw, who is truly deserving of an article)[1]; therefore, delete per WP:BIO.

  • Delete as non-notable radio personality. Just because he's gone "town to town, up and down the dial" doesn't make him Johnny Fever. --Dhartung | Talk 16:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
