Jungle Jam and Friends: The Radio Show!
I'm not quite sure how this one isn't vanity for a non-notable radio show. There's no evidence that this has been syndicated or widely broadcast (the article doesn't assert this), and while the article does assert that the show is "award-winning," there no source to back this up or even any information on what awards this show has won and when. Additionally, there seems to be a walled garden of JJaF pages; I'm not sure if this is merely evidence of an enthusiastic fan or group of fans focusing on this subject, or if it's just a case of low-key vanispamcrufizement. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It reads like WP:SPAM at the moment, but clicking the external link you can find a list of about 50 stations that syndicate it. I'm going to suggest to the author that it be rewritten to conform to WP:NPOV. Graham 09:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have to admit that I didn't get much out of the external link; it steadfastly refused to do anything but crash my browser. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:57, 8 July 2006 (UTC)


 * No vote yet. The external link worked for me. Based on the fact that this is apparently a syndicated radio show, I will probably change my vote to keep, if all the pages about characters from this show are merged back into the main page and all the redlinks are unlinked during the AfD period. We do not need separate articles about every character per WP:FICT. --Metropolitan90 15:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This radio show appears to be completely notable (although not currently in play). It is currently turning up over 1,000,000 Ghits. I'd like someone to do a little bit of work on the article (I'm flagging it for cleanup and wikify), but I think that it is worth keeping around. Alphachimp   talk  05:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * When I use quotes in a Google search, to exclude results that just happen to include "jam" and "radio show", I get a much-more-conservative 60 unique hits. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 08:40, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Good point. I sort of realized that after my initial search, but I saw 600 results, so I didn't think that the result was too notable. I think the fact that it is a syndicated Christian radio show with some regional distribution is enough to merit its inclusion. Alphachimp   talk  00:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I did not write the article, but I've contributed substantially to it. The article does not claim that the show is award-winning, but that it includes music from artists who are award-winning. This refers to country music stars Buddy Miller and Julie Miller. Buddy has won Song of the Year and Album of the Year awards from the Americana Music Association, according to wikipedia's page on him (which I have not contributed to). I believe the involvement of the Millers in this project makes it notable, in addition to the reason advanced above (i.e. the number of stations that syndicate it) and its success on CD and cassette. I'd agree that the show probably does not warrant separate pages for each character, but the article itself does not warrant deletion. -- CrimsonLine 21:31, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I would agree with your assessment of the individual character pages. Can you merge those into the article as a whole? Alphachimp   talk  00:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Working on it. -- CrimsonLine 01:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
