 * Weak delete As a Tasmanian myself, he was pretty well-known locally on radio and TV in the 1980s and 1990s, but I very much doubt he would have been known outside of the state, or possibly even outside of the broadcast area of 7HT and TasTV. The only references in the article are for a shark attack in 1971, and some links to stories about his death in local media. The possible notability claims (drumming in "top rock 'n' roll bands", DJing at Studio 54 and "association with a later world famous Australian Rock Band") are extremely vague and unreferenced. I have to say, my impression was Franklin's considerable talents in promotion were also applied to himself, so I think it would be unlikely that any of these claims can be verified outside of his company's website and the articles concerning his death (which presumably got them from his promotional material). Note: a "Jim Franklin" (which I presume is a typo) is listed as winning Countdown awards for best Tasmanian DJ in 1979 and 1980 in Australian pop music awards. This article claims five wins, but does not specify years or categories. --Canley (talk) 02:17, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
