Soundings Podcast

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No evidence that the subject meets WP:PODCAST, WP:NWEB, WP:GNG or any other notability criteria. In terms of the latter (and WP:SIGCOV in particular), the single link/reference in the article itself is a primary source. Given that the subject is an Irish podcast, I've done a WP:BEFORE search of the main news sources in Ireland. All return only trivial passing mentions. For example, a search of the two main Irish newspapers of record return just three (Irish Times) and nine (Irish Independent) results respectively. The latter results including several false positives and trivial passing mentions in "listicles" like this. I note that a previous speedy seems to have been declined on the basis that "one of the contributors to the podcast was notable". While that may have excluded the article from speedy deletion, WP:NOTINHERIT and related guidelines would seem to apply to a more complete AfD review. And I'm just not seeing notability independent of the podcast participants. WP:COI, WP:SPA and WP:NOTWEBHOST concerns also arise. Guliolopez (talk) 19:33, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete No neutral third-party sources to establish notability, reads like self-promotion. Anyone and his brother can have a podcast these days. Why is this one different ?Oaktree b (talk) 19:41, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is semi-advertish, the sourcing isn't great at all to establish notability, and there's million of podcasts out there these days. There doesn't need to an article about every single one. There should be something uniquely notable about it. Which isn't the case with this one. It's an average podcast, that has less then average sourcing about it. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: Barely found anything about the podcast. Article is definitely WP:PROMOTIONAL. Since the 2 hosts have pages of their own, a redirect will be impossible per WP:XY. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
