No reliable, independent external sources for an article on a living person. Many statements made about his co-hosts that are not externally sourced. As far as notability goes, this article is about a DJ at a local radio station: there is no assertion of his notability outside his own town. Thus fails WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS.

- Keep notable radio personality. He has been covered by multiple independent reliable sources even if they aren't in the article. I haven't even read the article, and I don't listen to him, but I know who he is because I've read about him. SchmuckyTheCat
- comment - can you provide these secondary sources for us to check? And are they outside of his local listening area? Upon looking through some search-engine results, I did see some stories about what he was fired for, the lawsuits that have been brought against him, and so forth. It's not pretty, but if those things got him coverage outside of his own listening area, or were otherwise notable, I would certainly be happy to ask for an early closure of this AfD so that I could add all that dirt into his article. Anything to make it different from the fan-club monstrosity we have right now. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:25, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What is so important about "outside his own listening area"? His listening area is the Greater Seattle Metropolitan area, and into the rural parts as well. That's 4million people, the 14th largest radio market in the United States. His platform is one of the largest wattage stations in the market. He replaced Howard Stern and maintained Arbitron ratings for that time slot.[1]. He won 2006 "Best Local Morning Show" awarded by FMBQ. [2]. I listed two easy to find sources outside his listening area, but I reject that as a standard. SchmuckyTheCat
- The article on Stern mentions the BJ Shea show in one sentence. As for the other, how does FMQB come up with those awards? And is it a good source? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
