 * It is not clear what search strategy the nominator used in preparing for this AfD, if any was used at all, as the deletion guidelines ask of us. This article needs clean-up and addition of references, not deletion. I've added two. Other references are available. It meets WP:N notability guidelines. Keep.

 * One of the purposes of Wikipedia is to be a resource for information on many topics, which makes it a concern to see articles such as Beaker Street deleted. This page covers "merely" a radio show, but a show which was very popular over a large area of the mid-section of the United States.  It is understood that popularity alone does not confer notability; however, in this case the impact and following of this show is significant, and helps to define the era during which the show existed.  The article needs further refinement and better references, but it should not be a candidate for deletion.  It meets WP:N notability guidelines. Keep.RI-Bill (talk) 06:08, 31 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn - references included do establish notabilty now. Still needs some work, additional references would help, particularly backing up ones like "first underground music program broadcast regularly".  Also, merging this article and Clyde Clifford should be considered. --Rtphokie (talk) 12:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
