The Greg Fitzsimmons Show

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Poorly sourced article about a radio show. While this has a potentially valid notability claim because it's nationally distributed on a satellite radio platform, WP:NMEDIA does not hand radio shows an automatic "no reliable sourcing required" freebie just because they exist — a radio show, nationally distributed or not, still has to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. But all of the "sources" here are primary ones, with the exception of a single deadlinked (and unrecoverable even via Wayback) article whose citation "title" is "Article mentioning 'Gibby'" rather than the real title of the actual article — but coverage mentioning the host is not the same thing as coverage about the host. I've also stripped a linkfarm of blog links in which the host gave Q&A interviews about himself and his show, which are also not reliable or notability-assisting sources. None of the sources here are acceptable support for notability under NMEDIA, and a radio show is not exempted from having to demonstrate its notability via substantive coverage in reliable sources just because it's technically verifiable as existing.
