This is my second nomination of this for deletion, and 3rd overall deletion debate the past two ended as no consensus. This article has literally no reliable sources available; everything comes from blogs and fan club like sites. If you want to see my analysis of these sources check the prior afds, and it is obvious they fail WP:RS, another policy that governs these sources is WP:SPS which states, "Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media, whether books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, blogs, Internet forum postings, tweets etc., are largely not acceptable". I understand that this won a minor Paresc award, however with no reliable sources it would be shocking if we allowed this content to stay on Wikipedia. Marcusmax ( speak ) 02:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. As far as I can tell the notability guidelines are not met here. Sure, an award is something, but this is not a huge award, and there is no other coverage whatsoever. Delete per nom, therefore. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. So, three years ago, this won a barely-notable new award at a convention for being, in someone's opinion, the best anime podcast of the year.  Insufficient to create notability by itself.  Has it been the subject of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources?  No, not that either.   Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 07:33, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Won an obscure award, and not much other coverage. The plethora of list in the article has nothing substantive about this podcast, they are all routine announcements about its occurrence at various conferences and the like. As far as I can tell, the sites on which these appear don't seem to qualify as WP:RS either (wikis, blogs, etc.) Pcap ping  23:47, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. As usual, my CSE search turned up a source. --Gwern (contribs) 00:38 23 April 2010 (GMT)
 * That source is a mirror of a press release from toonradio.com a pretty obscure company that in itself has limited sources on what it even is. The actual link you "turned up" is not a secondary source and its author is not independent of the subject.- Marcusmax ( speak ) 00:58, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete non-notable winner of a non-notable award, few if any sources. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:03, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
