The Thistle & Shamrock

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet WP:GNG. There are some trivial mentions from various radio stations, but even those appear to be affiliated with or published by NPR so I would question whether they are independent. TipsyElephant (talk) 15:10, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I was able to find quite a few non-NPR sources.  There's an extensive profile in the Oct 2007 Scots Magazine (yes, that's on the Thistle and Shamrock website, but it's reprinted from the magazine, which is not available online).  The New York Times describes Thistle and Shamrock as NPR's "renowned weekly program [...] which has run for 15 years", and there's an interview from The Library of Congress, book reviews that address it in the Journal of Southern History and a profile in the Boston Globe, the Hamish Henderson award for Services to Traditional Music, as well as some local reporting such as Nashville SCENE, Long Island Report, etc.  Formulating a search query to include an NPR show as a topic while excluding public radio as a source is admittedly tricky, so there are probably more to be found, but this is definitely a significant show. --  Te xa sD ex   ★   03:09, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Meets WP:RPRGM with sources presented by TexasDex. They're reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 01:21, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep, as it has plenty of non NPR sources, as shown by TexasDex.Jackattack1597 (talk) 11:06, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
