David Emory
A radio talkshow host from California - and the article is nothing but an unsourced essay about his tinfoilhattery. Escaped Nazis are running the global economy, and along with the CIA conspired to kill Jews at the Munich Massacre, and now are in league with Al Quaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Republican party.....please. -Doc 17:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The fact that he appears to be a fully paid-up whacko isn't a problem - we have plenty of pages on his fellow travellers; the fact that there does not seem to be a single mention of him anywhere is. — iridescent 17:16, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Google news turns up nothing, and neither does a straight-up google search, which turns up this guy only in the form of resume's and programming announcements and a few blogs. No coverage by reliable sources. If he is notable in his field, than at least SOMEONE (such as maybe a local newspaper, or the like) would have interviewed him or reviewed his program. I have found no evidence of such, and thus he is wholly non-notable. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. See WP:N. Subdolous 17:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

- Delete per Subdolous. Stifle (talk) 23:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per Jayron32. Doctorfluffy 08:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - Emory is mentioned elsewhere but he or his minions have repeatedly cleansed the article of links and information critical of him and which speaks to his wider influence. I have just today restored two external links that set him in a larger context. One is by Chip Berlet although Emory gets only one mention in that piece. I know from personal experience that Emory has a significant following and his content is distributed via at least two independent, i.e. not owned or controlled by Emory, radio stations: WFMU and WCBN. --DieWeisseRose 08:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
