Suspected hoax; even if it isn't, this article is sadly lacking in both notability and references. As much as I love somebody who has a "dinosaur friend Fartasaurus", I don't think this chap is worthy of an article... GiantSnowman 00:26, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No opinion (yet) on the deletion, but Fartasaurus does get some love on the 'net.  (yes, I'm fully aware these links don't show notability, which is why I don't have an opinion on deletion). --Fabrictramp(public) (talk) 00:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment - If this is a hoax, I reckon they went to a lot more work than most Wikipedia hoaxers: SEE THIS. Carrite (talk) 15:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm happy now it's not a hoax; however, this guy is by no means notable. GiantSnowman 15:28, 25 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - This is a real person and the facts are correct. Tony Biggs is a significant figure in Australian youth culture of the 80s, 90s and noughties. His influence has been mainly as a rock and indie music radio announcer for which is by its very nature an ephemeral medium, and when documented often in references tending to be jocular in tone.

 * But can you prove his notability? GiantSnowman 00:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Giant Snowman, I can find references that seem to prove his existence,, RRR as to his notability - he was on JJJ for a fair while. I'm not sure. Historically I think he was probably significant as a radio announcer. I did not know him personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertwhyteus (talk • contribs) 01:43, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm happy that this guy exists, but I'm still concerned about his notability. To me he looks to be nothing more than a local radio DJ. 3RRR is a community radio station, and whatever he's acheived doesn't look to meet the relevant notability guideline of WP:ENTERTAINER.

 * That's fine with me. It's probably best deleted till someone writes an authoritative history of the era and substantiates his role, if it was an important one. If you have the power to close the discussion and deleted the page, I don't have a problem with that.--Robertwhyteus (talk) 03:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha, unfortunately it's not that simple! We'll have to wait for an admin to come through after 7 days, and then make a decision based on the evidence here. For further info, please read Deletion process. Regards, GiantSnowman 03:19, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for your help. Much appreciated. --Robertwhyteus (talk) 03:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Looks like he makes it in.  -    -  . Those three are mostly about him and things directly connected to him. There is more that are less focussed on him but provide more relevent coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:39, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Fancy adding sources to the article? GiantSnowman 11:54, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
