[edit] Zelda Young

Zelda Young (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

not a notable broadcaster. Unusually for someone who seems to have had a 30 year career I can find no news articles that even mention her. This article has no sources other than her website. Reggie Perrin (talk) 19:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete -- not notable, even after thirty years. -- Redfarmer (talk) 19:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
  • comment I can find a news article here that mentions her, but still not very much. Jon513 (talk) 21:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The article cited is actually about Joseph Farah (founder of WorldNetDaily) and makes a passing reference that a segment from his show will be picked up once a week on Zelda Young's show ie "As WorldNetDaily reported, a recorded excerpt of the program can now be heard weekly in Toronto every Monday within the Zelda Young show on FM 100.7. The excerpt is branded: "A Slice of Farah."" - No information about the Zelda Show itself, let alone Young as a person and, in any case, I don't think World Net Daily is considered much of a source. Indeed, I don't see how this source, even if it was notable, could be used in the Zelda Young article let alone justify its existence. Reggie Perrin (talk) 22:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Week keep. There is a three-page article on her in Lifestyles Magazine (Fall 2003) which is archived on her website: http://www.zeldayoung.com/zeldaarticle.pdf Would be nice to have multiple sources, however. DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete - I did find a source that shows she has twice won the Canadian Ethnic Media Association award for radio (in 2004 ad 2006) but not sure how notable the award is. And considering the lack of other coverage about her, it looks like she lacks sufficient reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 18:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

  • She seems like she could be notable with the right sources, but it doesn't sound like those sources are easy to come by, either. Delete without prejudice against recreation if somebody comes along later on with improved sources. Bearcat (talk) 06:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
