 * Keep I'm not familiar with this radio host, however, (1) hosting a weekly broadcast heard on 46 radio stations seems notable, (2) while I realize this is an AOD for "Dori Monson", by process of comparison, deleting the article of this radio station's apparent cornerstone host while leaving up articles about other hosts on this same radio station would leave wikipedia unbalanced.

 * Keep WP:ENTERTAINER does not necessarily cover radio personalities in any particular way. Neither does any other WP:N guideline specifically. Monson is not notable on a national or international level, but within the Pacific Northwest, he is one of the most notable radio personalities. Eauhomme (talk) 05:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete This indevidual is no more notable than any of the 1000's of other non-notable local radio personalities that are not listed at Wikipedia because they are non-notable. There is nothing in particular about Mr. Monson that causes him to rise above the rest who are not found at Wikipedia because they are non-notable. WiccaWeb (talk) 17:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete As per nom. Not much esle to say. Non notable in the extreme... Arty Ziff (talk) 19:24, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment/Question While I have no issue with your Delete vote, I have to question what about "As of winter 2008 it was the highest rated talk radio program in the Seattle-Tacoma market." "In 2008 Monson was nominated for Radio & Records News/Talk/Sports Local Personality Of The Year" and "Since 2002 Monson has hosted... a day-of-game broadcast carried on...a network of 46 radio stations in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia" makes someone "non notable in the extreme"? Between a nationally known talk radio host like Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh and a non-notable single-station host with a 2am call-in show, there's a line somewhere. Where is that line?

 * Keep I don't want to admit it, but most talk show hosts are notable. --Clark89 (talk) 06:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep – Major radio host, and the sources are reliable and published.  TheAE  talk / sign  04:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
