Contested PROD. No reliable sources provided, none found in a search. Not a notable program. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:12, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, although with a tiny bit of reluctance, since the show has received tons of coverage in independent sources but none I've uncovered so far qualify as reliable sources, for the purposes of determining notability. It's tough for any radio show to meet the standards, especially one that airs in a single market for an hour on a Sunday morning, and while I may find myself seeking out their podcasts in the future (thanks, AfD!) this article lacks the required sources to remain on Wikipedia. (Perhaps a few sentences can be salvaged to the host radio station article?) - Dravecky (talk) 04:07, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete per Dravecky, but with even more reluctance. This show sounds quite interesting and original, the guest lists are rather impressive, and as Dravecky mentions it is getting attention in other folks' blogs and websites (more than 2,000 Google hits). But like the other commenters here, I also have been unable to find mentions of the show in reliable sources , even on comic book industry websites like Newsarama. If the show continues, I suspect such coverage may show up eventually, but not so far. Also, it seems that WNJC is a "brokered programming" station, meaning that this show is apparently a radio version of a self-published work, broadcasting on a single local station, so any special notability considerations that a radio show might get under WP:Notability_(media)#Programming probably don't apply. I would very pleased to change my vote here, if someone can come up with some decent coverage of the show in reliable sources, but I just haven't been able to find it.--Arxiloxos (talk) 05:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
