TechPhile

Not notable. Delete. brenneman ^(t)^(c) 01:21, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. techPhile is one of the biggest and most popular technology podcasts on the web. The podcast is very well-known in the technology internet community and receieves many thousands of downloads per episode. Have a look at the backlinks to see how popular the podcast and site are: here and here. cheers, Treelovinhippie 03:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
To Admins: Please take note that the user who has tagged this article for deletion has surprising done so with many of the other articles I have created/editted. He obviously likes the conflict it causes (as can be seen in the 'dispute box' which is on his user page). Treelovinhippie 05:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think it goes without saying that Treelovinhippie's comments here and on his user page (both exhibiting ignorance of wikipedia policy and community norms, and an insulting lack of respect for his fellow wikipedians) warrants more attention from administrators than a perfectly reasonable AfD. --Jeffrey O.

Keep. Notable podcast.--Nicodemus75 05:46, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see that argument quantified: notable based upon what? Thanks. - brenneman ^(t)^(c) 05:53, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Informative and popular podcast.--Aardwolf204 04:23, 4 October 2005 (EST)
Evidence. For those of you people who don't have a clue as to the popularity of techPhile....
- Now as I have stated before, it is often difficult to state exact figures on the number of downloads per podcast, as often these are distributed via bittorrent (which is very difficult to track) and the podcasts end up all over the net with various other sources distributing it.
- Another thing I'll post is a link to a post on http://www.digg.com (a social bookmarking site). Basically the number of 'diggs' is how many people have clicked to 'digg' it and is an indication of its popularity. See an example of a digg article posted for this podcast here: http://www.digg.com/technology/Techphile_Episode_11_From_the_TechTV_Meetup_in_Toronto
Delete. Encyclopedic notability not established by the article, which looks like advertising. Gamaliel 11:19, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable podcast. android79 13:03, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, doesn't seem to be notable despite the best efforts of its defenders to convince it otherwise. Lord Bob 14:51, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, very notable podcast. It's a quality podcast that's updated on a regular basis. Which is more than I can say for most of the podcasts today. Even my own. Not to mention the work Frank has done for the Canadian podcasting community. MacGeek 17:54, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete yet another non-notable podcast. As before, in reference to the evidence provided, "diggs" are around 500. The biggest hit on the provided site is 1000 and that is only because that particular episode was about diggs.com. There are blogs out there that get that many hits a day... and I don't consider them notable.--Isotope23 19:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep(with provisions) It is a notable podacast that has been recommended on both professional broadcast and print media. It is an Amateur production, in the sense of for the love of it, and this does initially put off some listeners that are used to and prefer professional or professional grade production. Once you get past that and listen for the quality of the content, it is far greater than the large majority of free podcasts. The only provision I have to keeping it is if the actual entry is improved because of its not quite "ready for prime time" entry. I do not have the time currently to do this myself, or I would.
