Gentleman Jim Carter
A disk jockey in the 70's and 80's whose claim to fame is a program called Freak Show in which listeners called in and said whatever they wanted (if I understand correctly). Doesn't seem notable enough. JoaoRicardo 11:33, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Google yields 21 hits on this also. Inter 12:44, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Given that this was some time ago I wouldn't expect too many Google hits. It's the nature of the Google test that certain notable things barely discussed on the web appear non-notable, while anyone can release an irrelevant piece of software and there will be thousands of hits. This guy's programme seems no less notable than The Human Zoo (radio) and its presenter (but surely nowhere near as good!)*, it's just that it took place before the web and before Wikipedia.

 * * Thinking about it the Human Zoo audience was probably much greater, making it more notable.
 * If he was notable, that cannot be inferred from the article. Unless it can be expanded, delete. Radiant! 15:20, Feb 17, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, not notable - less than 24 hits on Google. Megan1967 23:21, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep for the reasons Trilobite laid out. This is relatively minor, but especially with new frontiers in communications censorship in the United States, it's potentially growing in relevance as a cultural counterpoint. 66.82.9.54 22:54, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep adequately famous. Kappa 22:01, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns 10:33, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
