Notability and sourcing problems. No relevant hits in Google News. This article was deleted twice on May 2nd, once as the result of a BLPprod (as the article lacked sources at that time and arguably still does), the second time an A7 speedy. The subject of the article has now created the article a third time. I abstain from the discussion of whether the deletion is appropriate, I'm likely biased at this point, but I *do* humbly request that if the result of this debate is delete, that if there's a remedy for consistent recreation of the article that that remedy be considered.

 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 11:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete unless sources can be found. The only source cited in the article is Okon's own show, and I couldn't find any other sources with a Google News search.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:42, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete and Salt Completely non-notable. His entire claim to fame seems to be that he once interviewed Noam Chomsky. Two problems with that: First, Chomsky gives out interviews like popcorn, several a month on average during 2009 according to Chomsky's own website, and second, the Marc Okon interview is not listed there. (Funny - I remember an AfD debate a few months ago where a tiny student-run magazine, and its three principals, were all claiming notability because they once interviewed Chomsky. I wonder how many other such Wikipedia articles there are?) BTW this page was created by a single-purpose account named User:Marc.okon. --MelanieN (talk) 22:33, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
