Contested proposed deletion in July 2012. Concern is that while the podcast did receive one award in 2006, podcast lacks overall notability as it has not been mentioned in any third party works for verifiability. WP:WEB. Breno ^talk 12:17, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Whether or not the article is kept, it certainly needs to be trimmed. Not every guest needs to be mentioned, even if they do have an article here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Additional: I went ahead and removed the vast majority of fan material added to the article. The stickler here is that it won a Parsec Award and while it definitely contributes towards notability, I'm not sure if it's so overwhelmingly notable that it would give absolute notability based on this factor alone.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:44, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Stephen Euin Cobb. I've thought about this a little and I have to say that while the Parsec Award is notable and it does give notability, it doesn't seem to be so overwhelmingly notable that it would give absolute notability to where this would be kept on that basis alone. Given that there doesn't seem to be any in-depth coverage of this podcast show in reliable sources, I think that this would be best served by redirecting to Cobb's page with the site being a mention on his page. Of course I do want to mention that Cobb's page suffers from the same level of fan writing and also needs some work, which I'll try to get around to.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:31, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've cleaned out a good portion of the article's cruft and I'll look for RS to show that Cobb himself has notability.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
