May not meet general notability guideline. Covered only by primary source. RoCo^(talk) 20:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No independent coverage seems available, nor is there much likelihood it exists in dead tree form. Fails WP:NRADIO as it has not played any significant role in programming and received consequent coverage. Triptothecottage (talk) 20:37, 23 March 2017 (UTC) Redirect per original author below.

Redirect to CBC Radio 2. Full disclosure, I'm the original creator of this, about a decade ago when the mere verifiability of its existence as a networked radio show was all that was actually required. But the notability rules for radio content have been considerably (and wisely) tightened up since, and indeed this simply isn't the subject of any real coverage in its own right — while the initial coverage of R2's programming shift made it sound like there was going to be more substance to this show, all it's really turned out to be is the radio equivalent of an iPod on shuffle: an automated, hostless stream of continuous music through the overnight hours until R2 Morning kicks in again the next morning. So there's really just no substance that can be written about what it's actually turned out to be. But it should still be retained as a redirect to the network, if for no other reason than the fact that it's mentioned there and linked in a few other articles.

Thanks for that information, Bearcat. Is there any article this could be merged with (or mentioned in), or will the redirect suffice? RoCo^(talk) 21:00, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, just a redirect to the network. Maybe with an anchor to the "CBC Radio 2 schedule" section, though, since the network's article is long and that's the part where the show name actually comes up. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to CBC Radio 2 per Bearcat; could easily be closed 'per author affirmation' at this point. No objections to having a bit in the Radio 2 article either. Nate • (chatter) 02:35, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
