De-prodded with promise of "sources", but all of the sources added are just YouTube links or a wiki about the furry fandom. Absolutely zero reliable sourcing found anywhere. Does not seem to be a notable show as it only aired on access TV in one market Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:05, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of the longest running shows, if the THE LONGEST running show in public access TV history. This isn't a page that needs to be deleted, it needs to be finished to Wiki standards. The creator of the show also created this wiki back in 2008, and passed away in 2017. His friends are working to bring this page up to snuff and do it justice. Simply deleting it has no merit. There's legit history here and a story to tell, it just takes time to put together and cite the references because a lot of it was newspaper published. The internet wasn't a huge thing back when the show ran in it's heydays, so give us some time to get this done. Monkiedude22 (talk) 16:16, 17 September 2021 (UTC) Monkiedude22[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. Particularly notable is "Before the Web, It Was Public Access: A New Museum Exhibihition Leads Visitors Back to the Days of Rapid T. Rabbit". The Wall Street Journal. 11 Feb 2011. p. A20. which has in depth coverage on the show in relation to an exhibition on the program at the Museum of the Moving Image. Another quality source with significant coverage is Lisa Belkin (13 April 1987). "Public-Access TV: Behind the Scenes". The New York Times. p. C18.. The Wall Street Journal article also commented on the continuing popularity of the character at Furry Fandom conventions; and this source confirms that on page 172.
