Hey Dan - I'm new to Wiki so excuse me if I'm doing this wrong. I thought I had referenced all the appropriate materials (youtube, current radio station featuring this character).

Reading the notability guidelines it states that the article must have significant coverage (referenced by the UK national radio station 'Absolute Radio' which features this character on its main web page, as well as having it on the station broadcast itself), must be reliable (notable UK radio broadcaster), have sources (youtube page with example of song, along with user comments) and be independent of the subject (I'm not the subject, and more so again, a reliable radio station plus comments from other users on youtube).

I also have sound clips from the shows, including the interview with the man behind the character, although I believe I can't publish these on Wiki (I may be incorrect).

I can only presume the problem is the number of articles online? It's difficult to substantiate notability on a radio character as the main domain is indeed a radio station, however I've included links to examples of notability where available.

What would be the appropriate way of including this article, or what further changes could be made to substantiate? Benchy_uk —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete - Content of the article does not demonstrate notability. In theory, then, notability would be carried by substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. Youtube is not a reliable source. The remaining source while (presumably) reliable, is not independent of the topic. The topic does not seem to have received substantial coverage in reliable sources. - SummerPhD (talk) 18:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Delete not a notable part of a  notable work, just an ending sequence in a radio show.  Possibly a redirect if its thought appropriate, possibly to an article on the show. But there isn't even an article on that at  this time, so how can a character in a nonnotable show possibly be notable? DGG (talk) 00:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
