The Rod Ryan Show

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a single-market local radio show, not referenced to any reliable source coverage that would get it over WP:GNG. Local radio shows are not entitled to an automatic presumption of notability under WP:NMEDIA just because their own self-published web presence nominally verifies that they exist, but must be the subject of coverage in reliable sources independent of themselves for an article to become earned. Two of the three "sources" here, however, are promotional pages on the website of its radio station and a local business directory -- and the third makes no mention of this show whatsoever, but is here simply to verify what flavours of jelly bean happen to be available in a flavourpack that the show once utilized in an on-air contest. Which means none of these sources speak to the show's notability at all, because the ones that are about the show are affiliated primary sources, and the other one is entirely irrelevant to the matter. (Note: I've also already stripped two other WP:CIRCULAR "citations" to other Wikipedia articles.) Bearcat (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Updated sources on the page. Let me know what else would need to be done to keep this page around. Or, possibly merged it with the 94.5 KTBZ page.Childs play (talk • contribs) 13:17, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Your new sources still mostly comprise primary sources and blogs that cannot assist notability. The Daily Mail piece is worth something — surprisingly, it actually does directly mention this show, so it counts for more than I was expecting it to — but it's not worth enough all by itself as the article's only quality source, if none of the other references around it represent reliable sources at all. We require several reliable sources, not just one, before we can deem an article keepable per WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 16:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
