Tito power 106

Biography of a minor radio Disc Jockey in California that does not appear to meet the criteria set out in WP:BIO. Given the absence of his real name, looking for sources online is next to impossible. CIreland 17:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the subject of the article is non-notable. The article itself is unsourced. I presume the author of the page (djfromwhittier) is likely the article subject. Sasha Callahan 17:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete This man does not want his name to be known for the same reason "Big Boy" doesn't. Everything in this article is true. Sources include the power 106 website and of course, the radio. I've been listening to Tito for 10 years. He is well-known in the L.A. area and has an interesting story, one that I believe is very notable. This link leads you to his profile on the power 106 website http://www.power106.com/airstaff/tito.aspx This is a video of Tito's Top 4@4 which happens to be the top rated show on air in Los Angeles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Upp6Vqykkmg

Delete per very narrow scope of notability, ie only known (if that) in LA area Corpx 04:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Italic textWhat the hell is this guy talking about...What an idiot. It's the same reason a local newsreporter in arkansas is on this site... they're well known in their region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.121.152 (talk • contribs)

That should be deleted too then. Corpx 04:36, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Look, if you're not from L.A then who are you to say whether this guy's a somebody or a nobody. You don't know who you're even talking about. Believe it or not, his story is pretty popular in this neighborhood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.121.152 (talk • contribs)

That's my point...nobody outside of LA knows about this guy Corpx 04:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unless or until a source asserting notability is found. SolidPlaid 17:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Tito (radio host), then merge and redirect to KPWR. You'd think being the afternoon drive DJ on a top-10 radio station in the second largest radio market would be enough to establish notability, but reliable sources are difficult to find; the only mentions I was able to find online were from when he was part of the former afternoon drive show "tha' Goodfellas and Tito Show", e.g. "2 St. Louis men are a hit with their Los Angeles radio show" in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and "Radio Show of the Week" in the Los Angeles Daily News. The Goodfellas themselves moved to KDAY, and Tito was left with the timeslot on Power 106 (KPWR). Given the relatively high profile of this DJ, it seems prudent to believe that it is only a matter of time before more independent reliable sources will be found. Until then, merging rather than deleting seems the better course of action. Advice to User:Djfromwhittier: if you are aware of any independent press coverage (e.g. newspapers or magazines) of Tito or the radio show after the Goodfellas left the timeslot, it would be a good idea to cite it.
