The Cutting Edge with Perry Manno

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

No evidence of notability; prod removed by creator. Although it's not a criteria for deletion, note that creator's username indicates a probable conflict of interest. FisherQueen (Talk) 17:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for removing the notice of deletion, I wasn't aware that was not to be done. I am currently in the middle of editing the article and making it more informative. I have also added references. Explain why there's no evidence of notability. I have read wikipedia's requirements for notability and I find that this meets them. Also, being an avid user of wikipedia I know for a fact that there are articles with much less notability than this. Gnmanno 17:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Jakew 19:22, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per very narrow scope of notability Corpx 00:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't mean to sound rude, and this may come off that way but it's not intended that way. I don't know how carefully you all are reading this article, because you must have missed the fact that the show is nationally syndicated. It's broadcast from 1390 WRIV in Riverhead, but it's played on networks all around the country. Obviously the show is not huge like Rush Limbaugh's and Dennis Millers, but the show has only been around for 5 years. We were hoping that a wikipedia article would help make the show better known. Also I feel it's unfair that I've barely had a chance to put information on the article and it's already up for deletion. Whether someone is writing about the show or not I don't know, but I could easily find out, and if so, when I have the chance, I will add information and references from these sources. And I also need to ask you, why is my username a conflict of interest? Because the name Manno comes up in it? Gnmanno 21:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Would it really be nationally syndicated if it is carried by 20 radio stations?  Either way, I'm striking my delete vote Corpx 18:06, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for striking your delete vote. We are aware that it's only carried by 20 stations, and we'd like it to be carried by more but that will come with time. However these are stations all across the country, which by definition make it national. Once again thank you for striking your delete vote. It's highly appreciated. Gnmanno 21:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there any source, other than the radio show's own web page, that can confirm that it is broadcast in twenty cities? The article still has no second-party sources, and I'm afraid that really is required by the notability criteria.  I did my own search but couldn't find any. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:24, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I have contacted Perry and he will be supplying me with some second party sources that have written about the show.Gnmanno 05:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Your accusations of spamming are incorrectly conceived, that's all I have to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gnmanno (talk • contribs) 01:41, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete until outside references show up. MarkinBoston 01:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)


 * delete not only under notability but also under advert/npov criteria, as gnmanno says: "We are hoping that a wikipedia article would help make the show better known" and "we are aware that it's only carried by 20 stations, and we'd like it to be carried by more but that will come with time". Well, with time, it may warrant a WP article, right now it doesn't. 87.127.44.154 06:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless some sources establishing notability are given. User:Gnmanno's comment do raise serious COI and spam issues. Nuttah68 11:23, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
