Fails WP:GNG - Cwobeel (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While Clark hosts a notable podcast, I don't see any evidence that Clark is notable in and of himself. As Cwobeel noted, he fails GNG: there is not substantial coverage of Clark. (There are articles about the podcast, but they only discuss Clark in passing.) Further, SYSK is the only bright spot on his career; the rest isn't significant enough for an article. Clark doesn't warrant an article. I don't think we need to keep the title around at all, but I wouldn't protest if this page were redirected to Stuff You Should Know. —C.Fred (talk) 18:48, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree. For the same reasons as the deletion of Bryant's article. Information on the hosts should be included in a separate paragraph in the article on the podcast. Not enough notability and content for individual articles. --Tuluqaruk (talk) 11:46, 10 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuluqaruk (talk • contribs) 11:44, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator. He is the co-host of a podcast that is downloaded more than 1 million times per week and is consistently on iTunes’ Top 10 podcast rankings. He may not have a profile in GQ, but that doesn't mean the coverage of him and his podcast is not notable.--Briancua (talk) 18:57, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What coverage of him? I haven't seen anything at an independent source that talks about him (not the podcast, but him) for more than a paragraph. —C.Fred (talk) 19:04, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Related AFD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chuck Bryant (2nd nomination) - The podcast is notable and has its own article: Stuff You Should Know. - Cwobeel (talk) 18:58, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect with possibilities per C.Fred above. There is no evidence presented that the hosts of SYSK are independently notable yet, but given the possibility, I think we want to keep the history. BLAR seems the most sensible option. De Guerre (talk) 02:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Stuff You Should Know, no sources proving independent notability at present. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 14:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article is sourced, not only to articles about the program, but to profiles of its creators (profiled as a pair, but, still, profiled) in reliable newspapers including the Toronto Star.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:58, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
