The_Leon_And_Rustin_Show

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable, single season regional show which has no authorative sources and lots of crystal ball style 'might have beens'. All links on page go to either the author's home page or a single fan site and the DVDs mentioned (which might well suggest notability) appear home made and aren't actually available commercially, if at all StuartDouglas 09:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete On the talk page, the creator promised: "We can produce a list of notable sources by the end of today". That was five days ago and needless to say no such list has surfaced.  Delete as non-notable and unverifiable. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

You can order copies of the DVDs off that LRS website. That's how I even heard of the show and saw it in the first place. I have several respectable magazine articles where the show is featured or mentioned (2 of those in national publications), so apparently some of us consider it notable. Do I have to come to your houses and show you the TV show and magazines or what? (ha ha, just kidding!) Seriously though, I don't understand why this page is being picked on. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't notable or whatever. One last thing (for Stuart) - why did you say the links go to the author's homepage? I don't have a homepage listed on there. The links go to the websites of people featured on the show. You guys are getting carried away with your posts... you're doing quite a bit of that "crystal ball" gazing yourself! All the same, it's not the end of the world to me. Do what you gotta do, but I would appreciate it if you guys took a deep breath before rushing to judgment.--Brasky 20:51, 22 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No-one's rushing anything or picking on anyone but I can't help but think you're not help ing your case by saying "that LRS website" as though it were not connected to you when the image (10thLRS.jpg) which is prominently displayed on the Wiki LRS page and which you uploaded is also the dvd cover on the LRS website - and on the licensing tag for the wiki image you say "I made it myself. I willingly release it into the public domain".  I don't know if this counts as COI, but pretending to be impartial when you're not isn't brilliant behaviour. There's still not a single notable source on the page either. StuartDouglas 17:18, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I e-mailed a copy of the article I wrote for Wikipedia to the webmaster of that site and I previously sent them a picture I photoshopped from various clips of the show for fun. That hardly means I own the site or that I'm any more connected to it than you are. THEY chose to put it on there, not me. You're turning this into a personal thing, Stuart, maybe because you feel I'm challenging your experience or authority? You are making claims and assumptions about me, the show, and the websites without knowing ANYTHING about me, the show, or the websites. My intention is not to continually argue with you about this stuff. I agree with you that I am not an "impartial" person - I love the show and I think it is hilarious. But I did write an impartial ARTICLE about the show for Wikipedia (on behalf of myself and other fans around the country) and I think you should respect it. That all being said, I disagree strongly with you that there are no notable sources on the page. Apparently, someone at Wiki agrees with me as well because the page has never been deleted. I appreciate your input, and I respect you as a person - but I really wish you would give up your crusade against me and my article.--Brasky 21:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
