Talk:The Chili Guy

My reason for expanding this was because recurring members of the Howard Stern show like Gary the Retard and Beetlejuice have their own pages, but they're more famous. It should probably get merged.Kgppra17 11:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Fame doesn't equal importance... My reason it shouldn't be merged is -because- precedent allows for radio personalities (who are, in fact, celebrities) to have their own pages. How famous they are shouldn't matter. Besides, more people know more about the Chili guy than know about my hometown (which has at least two full wikipedia pages)

Going to Merge this into The Toucher and Rich Show...
As there has been no supporting argument on how this article passes WP:BIO and notability tests from the posted merge notice beyond an opinion from one contributor, I'm going to merge this article into The Toucher and Rich Show. If you have concerns, speak now... NotChiliguy 05:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * The person has demonstrable wide name recognition
 * Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
 * These things are definitely true. BCN had a concert called "The Chili Pot" clearly named after him which featured the Dropkick Murphys. His "birthday" was celebrated by the station. Give it a little time to let others weigh in.Kgppra17 05:59, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Chili Guy is not notable on his own OUTSIDE of the Toucher and Rich radio program or WBCN itself. There is nothing wrong with merging this page (of a show character) into the main article about the show.  Also, there are no supporting 3rd-party references for much of the information here, as is required by WP policy, so much of this page would be considered "original research" and should be yanked anyway. Please indicate how this page passes any of the first five bullet points listed on WP:BIO NotChiliguy 11:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, merge it. But keep as much of the information and quotes as possible. It will make the T+r page better.Kgppra17 18:00, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I say don't merge it. I've seen things suggesting he developing fame as an internet MEME. --Ngard039 23:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
