This page is not unambiguously promotional, it needs cleaning up and some care to make it a good page about a notable person. --Webhat (talk) 08:53, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Contesting Notability and Advertisment tags
With all respect to Orangemike but I disagree that these tags are required. The article does mention some of the subject's purchasable wares, but see this as no more disruptive than any mid range artist/magician. Further I diagree that the notability tag is appropriate. Considering that the subject is the host of 2 of the popular shows on different broadcast "newtowrks" it seems reasonable that they've easily cleared the GNG threshold. Therefore pending significant objection I intend to remove the tags no earlier than 48 hours from this comment Hasteur (talk) 20:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We are talking about "podcast networks", not actual networks in any meaningful sense, like NBC or even The History Channel. I reject the assertion that being on any of these constitutes "notability" in any meaningful sense whatsoever. --Orange Mike | Talk21:06, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Subject has appeared on "actual networks," is a published author and touring performer, in addition to his internet presence. Your claim of non-notability seems to break down to "I haven't personally seen him on TV."
Actually, he's a professional performer who literally wrote the guide book to fire eating who is an amateur podcaster in his spare time. It's easy to claim someone isn't notable when you ignore anything of note they might have done and try to claim an arbitrarily moral high ground. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.237.27.13 (talk • contribs) 03:20, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Let's not start throwing insults around here. The AfD has been closed as Keep and therefore the flimsy grounds that this article was taken on has been swatted down. Focus your effort into making this article even better. Hasteur (talk) 03:35, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Now that the "Keep" side has won, would some of you fix the formats of the purported "references" so we can figure out what the dickens they are? --Orange Mike | Talk03:46, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
