The article's subject fails to meet WP:N. Softdevusa (talk) 13:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • You had it linked to a different AFD. fixed it.
  • Delete - The article's subject fails to meet WP:N. While the article has ten references so far, they are all incapable of evidencing notability. The first reference is to ask-leo.com page, as primary source, it is not a notable source and it does not evidence notability. The second reference is to grc which is Gibson Research Corporation, Steve Gibson is the host of the podcast. This reference has a vested interest in promoting the podcast, it is not evidence of notability. The third reference is a letter from Steve Gibson and is not evidence of notability for the above reason of self promotion. The fourth is reference to grc again is self promotion. The fifth and sixth references are brief mentions. WP:N requires that any coverage be non-trivial; and the two falls below non-trivial, since its coverage of the topic is more accurately described as tangential. In both mentions, it isn't the central subject. The seventh and eighth are references to twit.tv which hosts the podcast are self promotion referecnes. The ninth is to grc again and a transcript which again has a vested interest in promoting the podcast, it is not evidence of notability. The Tenth reference is to a blog and doesn't even mention the podcast at all.

    Searching for "Security Now" on Google Web returns few pages (of 20 results each) do not appear to contain coverage of the broadcast that can indicate notability. Softdevusa (talk) 14:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think your google search was an error, for me "Security Now" on Google returns 163 million results. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 00:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
