Mike Pilat (Pilot)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

It is an autobiography, the original editor's name is 'thatmike' who also contributed the image, which he said was his own work. No 3rd party sources. Tim1357 (talk) 16:22, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this is how I respond, wiki confuses me a bit. I was notified this page was up for deletion. This pages was originally created by a listener of our program. I added the image to the page because it was blank and quite frankly I was flattered. Since then various listeners have been working together to create the information on this page by their knowledge from listening to the show and by asking me questions thru email. I have made some edits on this page when I have saw information that wasn't exactly true. Please let me know what I need to do to keep this page on Wikipedia because these guys and gals put a lot of work into it. Thank you very much.thamike (talk) 13:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.139.50 (talk)
 * The best thing you could do to have this page kept would be to find some independent sources. Since you are an Internet radio personality, if there is discussion of you in reliable independent sources, that discussion is probably available on the Internet. If you can find some links to independent sources which indicate that you are notable, you can identify them here in this discussion, or insert them into the article at appropriate places (to back up the facts in the article). See here for how to insert a link into an article. (There are more complex referencing methods also used on Wikipedia, but at this point we are mostly concerned with establishing that the sources exist; they can be formatted later.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I will be happy to post them here later tonite or tomorrow. I'm am away this afternoon but will work on this asap. I really appreciate your help and understanding. Thank you very much.thamike —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.147.4 (talk) 20:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

So I don't think we can take into account any of these sources other than Press Release About Pilat From ReadingPA.gov, Awful Show Remembers George Carlin, and CoolPodcasts Write Up About Awful Show. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've gone through the sources provided by User:thamike. Here are my comments:
 * 1) Mediocre Show Wiki -- Wikipedia itself does not qualify as a reliable source.
 * 2) Press Release About Pilat From ReadingPA.gov -- Not sure what to make of this.
 * 3) Press Release Of Awful Show On Cringe Humor -- Press releases from sources affiliated with the subject are not independent sources.
 * 4) Press Release Of Awful Show On Cringe Humor -- See above.
 * 5) Awful Show Remembers George Carlin -- Appears to be a reprint of a blog entry.
 * 6) Press Release Of Mediocre Show On Cringe Humor -- See above.
 * 7) Mediocre Show In Maxim Magazine -- Although this is not the original source, I assume good faith that this is an actual reprint of a Maxim article. However, it doesn't actually mention Mike, just two of the other hosts of his show.
 * 8) CityWeekly.net Article About Mediocre Show -- Also does not mention Mike.
 * 9) CoolPodcasts Write Up About Awful Show -- A two-paragraph blog entry.
 * Delete. The sources provided do not appear to be enough to establish notability yet. If notability is established later, the article can be re-created at that time (preferably using a single main name for the subject, whatever he is best known as). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:39, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
