Karlson and McKenzie (morning show)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article practically meets CSD G11. It's topic is a local-market morning show. The article fails to assert notability, since there is none to be had. There are no sources. This is a 35K advertisement for a program that airs on a tiny fraction of the globe. &#10154; Hi DrNick ! 01:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete or Reduce to Stub. I agree with the nominator that right now this reads like a long advertisement. It has a few good sources but at most it should be cut to a paragraph if others believe it meets the notability test.  I am unsure about this myself.  Renee 02:41, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a fan site about a local talk show; no independent sources to establish notability.  Cap'n Walker 19:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I am the principal author of the Karlson and McKenzie article. To clear up any misunderstandings, my intention was not to create a "35K advertisement" for the morning show, nor have I asserted the show's notability in the article.  As for sources, I am currently working on acquiring proper sources for the content in the article.  If you have a problem with the way in which the article is written, please contribute some constructive criticism on its talk page; while I understand all the points of view on the article written on this page, I strongly disagree with the assessments that it just "advertises" the Karlson and McKenzie morning show.


 * As for the show's notability, here's a list of U.S. radio programs that most likely contains articles on some equally "local" radio shows.


 * Also, the show itself has acknowledged both the work put into the article and my efforts to collect legitimate information on the show and its members. The K&M show has even contributed, on several occasions (in a positive manner), to its authorship.


 * I implore you all—in no disrespectful way—to allow me to clean up the Karlson and McKenzie article as is required by Wikipedia's standards and to add appropriate sources where needed.

 * Just this morning, the show stated that their ratings are above many other radio morning shows'. Furthermore, Karlson and McKenzie can be listened to anywhere in the world, due to WZLX's new feature that allows people all over the world listen to the station (and K&M)—provided that they have internet access.


 * So, basically, listeners of the show are not limited to the Boston, Massachusetts area. Their "notability" is quickly spreading, despite the fact that they are not nationally syndicated.  They can be heard anywhere there is internet, though.

 * Delete I see local notability and blogs on a google web search. Could not find significant verifiable sources. Cheers, :) Dloh cierekim  02:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
