This radio program unfortunately does not appear to meet the general notability guideline. Google searching for "Growing Up in America" kpft turns up only false positives on Google Books and nothing on Google News or News archives. If the program becomes notable down the road, then the article can be recreated then. CtP (t • c) 16:51, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is for a radio program and so would not show up under Google Books. The fact that it does not appear in a Google News search is not indicative of its notability. It is one of the larger shows that its parent station KPFT offers, and regularly hosts many notable speakers from Houston and Texas. It has been on the air for over 2 years. It is surely notable.

Delete, no prejudice to an extreme prune-and-merge to Children at Risk. I see no evidence that this subject meets WP:GNG. Stating it is "surely notable" without any third-party sources to back up this assertion is not based on any policy or guideline and indeed indicates the opposite. --Kinu ^t/_c 18:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:RPRGM, does not establish notability claim nor any sources for it. I'd maybe mention it on the KPFT radio article as a carried program or something if we can find sources to back up its notability claim. Though it doesn't seem to meet GNG nor notability.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
