Ben Hale


Contested speedy. Remarkable, perhaps, but not notable. "Ben Hale" is a common name I guess but this Ben Hale doesn't come up at all in the first Google few pages - granting that people born in 1910 have less presence on the net than younger folk, I supppose. He does have a book on Amazon. If I knew more about his radio show, maybe, but I don't have any reason to suppose it wasn't a local show on a low-watt station.

 * Delete, can't find a thing on the man in context of a radio show, only mention of real-estate position is in his obituary. Agree with Herostratus-sounds like a pretty cool guy if you knew him, but not too much verifiable information on him seems to be out there. Seraphimblade 07:18, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per those above. Definitely seems like an impressive person, but largely unverifiable. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 07:45, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * For the record, the two previously-deleted articles named "Ben Hale" were not about this individual; rather, they were generic adolescent nonsense. I have no comment on the nonagenarian. DS 14:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
