Jonny Staub

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable: zero gBook hits, one gNews hit (no content), and 193 gHits. Co-host of a radio program - does not qualify as Notable. SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

It's been mentioned to me that I might be relying on gHits too much, so I'll add that the gNews hit I found literally says "Jonny Staub will break plates at Koutouki Taverna South." in the Edmonton Sun. It's something about a Christmas Charity Auction, and that's the only mention. No clue if it's the same Staub.

--- Indeed that is the same Jonny. There are also many other mentions of him on the web (google his name and it pops up over several pages) and also conforms to other radio/television/media profiles featured on Wikipedia. I don't see the issue here SatyrTN, although your page does say that 3 times you've been "nominated" for being homophobic. Is that why you're trying to delete this profile? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightscamerafiction (talk • contribs) 02:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

The gHits include many blogs, some self-pub items, and copies of the article. Seems he also has an IMDB page for playing himself in one TV episode. Oh - and the 193 number is wrong - there are only 71 hits. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 03:57, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete lacks notability, lacks references.--Rtphokie (talk) 19:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just now I've added five references. Major Canadian newspapers have covered him for his radio career. The 2001 article is entirely about him. Keep, as there is enough there for the general notability guideline. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 05:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Can you point me to where you found these references? I was able to find the Edmonton Journal reference you added but not the others (The Province online archives only go back to 2003).  These appear to be brief articles about DJ changes at local radio stations rather than the "significant coverage" that WP:BIO is looking for.--Rtphokie (talk) 12:37, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, the references are not available online. I found them in my library's database. Keep in mind that WP:N is careful not to say that "brief" will be "insignificant". An article can provide some verifiable information, covering the subject in brief without being "trivial". Two of the articles (the 2001-12-17 one and the 2002-07-29) go well beyond that, though, as they provide other biographical information about Staub. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 16:40, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The article was certainly deletable in its original form at the time of nomination, but now it's a keep per Paul Erik's reference improvements. Being an openly gay DJ on a mainstream commercial radio station is still rare enough that it probably does constitute notability on its own, but even if that isn't considered sufficient then cohosting an internationally-broadcast television series should certainly be.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per reference improvements. - Mgm|(talk) 09:07, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as article is now well referenced and sources appear to verify notability. I too wish the articles were online but that's just the FUTON bias talking. - Dravecky (talk) 16:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
