BloomingOUT

Seems to borderline importance i.e. a few years ago would never have made it in, but now the boundaries have been blurred who knows? It deals with a radio show making a splash in a (to be fair, reasonably-sized) community in USA. Moglex 21:07, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: I'm not sure about notability, but there's a whopping 2,620 hits on Google (which is not necessarily a reason to keep, I know) - and seven on Google News: (all subscription or pay-per-view, sadly). -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs)  16:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a local radio show and podcast. It's not syndicated or anything like that. Not notable. Realkyhick 18:17, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I added Chicago Sun Times article which mentions the show and also a bit of context about Bloomington's surprising gay tolerance. Notability is not established by syndication, or lack thereof, by being local, or by being a podcast, but by non trivial coverage by independent sources. Scarykitty 03:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - This sets a bad precedence for allowing very obscure local shows and pod casts to use wikipedia as a platform to promote their shows. I don't see it's notability.--Amadscientist 06:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
