Non-notable podcast, reads like a advertisment for the subscription service Rtphokie (talk) 12:19, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and re-write. It absolutely does read like an ad, but it is mentioned nontrivially in Newsweek here (retrieved from archive.org) and in the Japan Times here. I'll add the references and try to prune the ad claims a bit. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  15:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, I cut quite a bit of the advertising material, and brought the references back. They actually were in the wiki markup, but weren't properly incorporated. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  16:30, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. It's notable, but shouldn't the title be "Japanesepod101"? Tavix (talk) 16:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * In the third-party sources, it looks as if it is referred to as "Japanesepod101.com" more often. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 18:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep with the rewrite and references demonstrating it's noted and thus notable. Good rescue, Xymmax. —Quasirandom (talk) 16:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – clearly notable under WP:N guidelines. "Unreferenced" does not mean "non-notable". In addition to what others added, I have also added non-trivial references in the National Post, The Guardian, E.learning Age, and the Omaha World-Herald.
