Delete. Notability not established. Author is responsible for one article, this one. The article lacks any meaningful information, is orphaned, and clearly was written by the subject as an autobiography. Notability is the key issue here. I can't find any information in this individual beyond personal pages on MySpace. The career in radio and television seems to have eluded any notable sources Prop21 (talk) 16:05, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment The article was vandalized by an IP a while back - here and here, I have now reverted those edits. I haven't done any search for notability yet. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I had noted the previous versions when I nominated. The article is autobiographical. The author, "AirAzonaRadio," has only done one article - this one - and it's got  personal information that is uncited and unverifiable.  The links provided on previous edits are either the subject's own creation or links to web sites that make no mention of the subject.  In that regard, it could violate WP:NPOV in addition to WP:NOTE.--Prop21 (talk) 17:09, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt Insufficient notability for this self-promotional article on subject. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:23, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Salting is hardly called for here. -- Banj e  b oi   01:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Totally non-notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per all of the above. Where was the New Page Patrol when we needed them? Rivertorch (talk) 08:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete with WP:Heymann clause if notability and sourcing issues are addressed. I made a quick look for online sources and found pretty much nothing. Perhaps there is a name mispelled or some other circumstance but I'm not seeing a reason to keep here. -- Banj e  b oi   01:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I did a quick search on Google for "Joshua Fourrier" and got nothing other than this article. I did another search for "Josh Fourrier" (not Joshua)and got some stuff, but it looks like it was all self-published.  A MySpace search revealed the guy does, indeed, live in Arizona and his name is spelled "Fourrier" just like the article.  I think misspelling is not an issue, here.  The article is all-too-common:  Aspiring radio and/or television performer who created his/her own page on Wikipedia as a blatant form of self promotion.  The network he is claimed to have been on, "Air Azona Radio" I can find no information on other than with this guy's name attached, mostly YouTube videos that he loaded.  The television show was claimed to be on Free Speech Television, which does exist and is public access television but there's no record on their web site of it existing, but then again it's public access.  Look at the article's early history...it was clearly created by a Wikipedia amateur who hasn't done anything on Wikipedia since...then it was semi-cleaned up by various users and bots.  This was a drive-by new article, if you want my honest opinion...original author completely abandoned it.  My vote remains delete.--Prop21 (talk) 16:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a hoax as much as someone who actually did some cool public access TV at a very young age. Had they also done the publicity to land articles in pront this would be a different story. As such this will be great background for if and when they do become notable according to sourcing. Seems a snow delete to me. -- Banj e  b oi   01:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
