 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep – is host of a nationally syndicated radio program for 40 years so weakly GNG/BIO from longevity in entertainment field (radio); does not meet Academic (highest level was dept chair, other criteria not met). Other option might be to merge and redirect to The Folk Sampler article.-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(ring-ring)  01:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Redirect to The Folk Sampler. A radio personality, even a nationally-syndicated one, qualifies for an article if he can be reliably sourced over WP:GNG, but he does not get an automatic "no sourcing required" freebie just because he exists. The show itself is better sourced (although it still needs some further improvement), and its article can certainly name Flynn — but we don't need a standalone WP:BLP of him separate from the show's article if this is the best we can do for sourcing.

 * Comment - Worst case scenario here should be a merge of much of this information to The Folk Sampler. Carrite (talk) 12:45, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
