Does not meet the criteria of Notability (people). Subject is a minor radio personality, but third-party published coverage is very limited, and coverage by reliable sources (not blogs, etc.) is non-existent. Just another talk show host working conspiracy themes. -- Donald Albury 10:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC) 
 * Delete, the government told me to argue for this article's deletion, on the grounds that he's not notable. Lankiveil 11:34, 31 May 2007 (UTC).
 * Keep He's kind of a fringe personality but there's enough to keep him around. First there are multiple sources and there seems to be some additional sources that could be added by someone knowledgeable. Whether the sources are WP:RS may be another matter. His movie roles should be considered too.  Jody B   talk 12:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment How does he meet the criteria of Notability (people)? reliable sources? His own website does not count. -- Donald Albury 17:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per JodyB. --Tλε Rαnδоm Eδι τ оr   17:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment It seems the article never got the afd1 tag to direct editors here for discussion. I added it to the article, and I'm relisting it to June 5. Krakatoa  Katie  00:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. There seems to be enough in this bio to imply notability. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 01:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Anyone in the radio industry this long has been discussed by reliable sources many times.  I'll add a couple of them in.  Cool Hand Luke 02:33, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. He has been listed among the likes of Long John Nebble and Ace Hayes as contributors to fringe topics. He has been seen on national shows as an expert of sorts. He is also the voice of the Toxic Avenger for Troma. He has a cult following. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.111.169.34 (talk • contribs)


 * Keep. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean you should delete him. Clyde has appeared in various television programs. (Most recent being Pen and Teller's B.S.). He has had articles written about in multiple magazines and newspapers. (Including Rolling Stone and Talkers Magazine). His current status in radio not withstanding, his history within national talk radio warrants a listing in Wikipedia.Geekinthecity 18:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC) — Geekinthecity (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep. Mr. Lewis has a large cult following throughout the world.  He has been nationally syndicated, and is considered by many to be the next Art Bell.  He has been on several TV specials, including Penn & Teller's BS, and is currently filming a special with Lewis Black.  Also his voice acting credits alone warrant an article.  Read the article before making assumptions, all the relevant information is available there. TEG 17:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Clyde is huge in the Portland Oregon area, and has a big national following.  He is definitely worthy of being mentioned. Tony in the Couve 21:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC) — Tony in the Couve (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep. Several citations and links to outside sources have been added to satisfy requirements for notability. Mordant Kitten 05:23, 7 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment Please, people, remember to sign your comments. I'm seeking a copy of the Rolling Stone issue so that I may cite it properly; if you have it, you can do so; please feel free to. It's the August 25th 2005 issue with White Stripes on the cover; I lack a page number.Mordant Kitten 18:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Utah-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 19:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
