Deprodded with vague "it needs to be improved, not deleted" comments. However, I was utterly unable to find even the tiniest bit of sourcing. Ten Pound Hammer03:53, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

There's more, but he's clearly notable. GregJackP Boomer! 01:12, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
  • KEEP The notability has been established. The article needs a lot of improvement, but that is a function of more of a "notable enough to spend enough time to fix and source the article" problem that editors juggle. The on-air 1988 incident, for example, ended with police intervention and earned him the notoriety afterwards. I *think* the Birmingham market is big enough to establish him as a major DJ, but if it's not, the 1988 on-air firing is. The article would be fine with a smaller set of details and less narrative to fit the sources and relative notoriety. Fix, shorten, and keep. I like to saw logs! (talk) 06:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Keep Meets WP:GNG with sources presented by GregJack. They're reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 07:36, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
  • GregJack sources are for a different person, Louisville Country DJ,Coyote Calhoun (no real name sighted) Worked at WAMZ in 1988 and could not have been fired from Z-102 in Birmhingham. Coyote J, real name Jim Batton, is not the same man. 19:23, 13 February 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Armysheep75 (talkcontribs)

  • I would agree with the Armysheep75 case. Louisville Coyote Calhoun was born in San Marcos, Texas , but his real name is simply not given. He worked in Wichita, Knoxville, and Sallisaw, Oklahoma. There seems to be enough sourcing for an article on the Louisville Calhoun. A search of Radio & Records turns up mentions of a Coyote J. Calhoun that appears to be the subject of the AfD, but the lack of a searchable local paper really hinders me nailing down anything other than the fact that Coyote Calhoun and "Coyote J. Calhoun" or Coyote J are separate people. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 03:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
