tagged with reference concerns for over 1 year, this article fails makes many claims but does not back them up with 3rd party references. Can this article meet WP:N? Rtphokie (talk) 16:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Nominator's assertion of improvement tagging is invalid: the article was untagged from January 2008 until about an hour ago. As for the unsourced claims, a better solution is to research them and find sources (which one hour is insufficient to do). If an exhaustive search proves fruitless, I'll reconsider, but as of right now, deletion is premature. —C.Fred (talk) 16:49, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The CNN article - which was already linked within the text - notes that the podcast has been ranked as high as #2 by iTunes Music Store. —C.Fred (talk) 16:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. After a cursory search, it's a winner at the Podcast Awards (2007, Best Education Podcast). This is criteria #2 of WP:WEB: the award is significant and independent. —C.Fred (talk) 17:09, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Snowball Keep -- This deletion is part of a veritable blizzard of prods and AfD noms regarding podcasts and other broadcasting topics. This podcast is award-winning.  Citation to third-party sources is not required by WP:N.  Individual consideration has not been given to each deletion proposed or nominated by this nominator.  By my count, there were 93 deletion proposals or nominations (out of 122 edits) made in the span of 138 minutes, many of which had inaccurate edit summaries. That's one edit every 68 seconds & one deletion every 89 seconds. --SSBohio 18:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn article has been sufficiently referenced to meet WP:N, thanks to those who improved it. It's a shame this article sat for a year+ before any references were added.--Rtphokie (talk) 19:33, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
