Dusty Rhoads[edit]

Delete, i could see if he was national, but he is not, or in a major market, not, or notible in the industry, not, or some kinda other news maker, not. --User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 03:34, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • from the article: He overcame numerous obstacles, such as an extreme addiction to donuts, to become one of the most well respected Disc Jockeys in the industry. The wattage and frequency makes me think it isn't a major radio station The link goes to a site that isn't up yet. Sounds like advertising/vanity to me. Delete. Mgm|(talk) 09:45, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. You know, I thought that I'd heard of him. Must have been that time I spent the weekend in San Luis Obispo and got drunk at the SLO Brewery. Maybe his band was playing. Anyway, the station is okay, but none of its DJ's are notable in the encyclopedic sense. Yet, at least. HyperZonktalk 18:26, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, since there have been at least two baseball players, a professional wrestler, and (I think) a porn star and a popular singer whose names have been "Dusty Rhodes" or close homophones thereof, it's easy to see why you'd think so. :-) --Ray Radlein 01:24, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 03:57, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I remember him well here in Palm Springs! My jaw about hit the ground when I saw the name. The San Luis Obispo radio market is roughly the same size or slightly smaller than Palm Springs, which comes in as market number 151 out of 600 total. However, a 25kw Class A FM in SLO would have quite a reach along the entire Central Coast. KZOZ comes in crystal clear well past Atascadero almost to Salinas and, if memory serves, inland as far as Fresno. That's a reach, friends. Way too gushing now, but a possible keep with a major POVectomy and expansion. The overall notability needs to be reinforced as well. - Lucky 6.9 02:55, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Minor celebrity = notable. Keep.--Centauri 10:30, 2 Mar 2005
  • Borderline delete as it has no independent verification - David Gerard 00:32, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I seem to remember a Dusty Rhoads DJ on Atlantic 252 (UK/IRL). I presume it was a *different* Dusty! zoney ♣ talk 00:25, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
