Non-notable bio. Most of the Google hits do not refer to the person in question. --Nehwyn 17:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete College radio DJ, but does not seem to meet WP:BIO Wildthing61476 17:10, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although Mike Zande is perhaps not regarded as a "national" celebrity, he is a well known radio phenomenon throughout central Illinois. Deleting this page would deprive his fans and, in fact, all the citizens of central Illinois of an important resource detailing the life of one of our most beloved personalities. — 141.161.128.74 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

So? Let his fans visit his web site. Wikipedia shouldn't provide surrogate web pages for anyone. -Amatulic 21:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have listend to Mike Zande for a few years now, and enjoy having a post about him. A lot of people would want to know more about him and his new wave style of DJing. It is the way of the future, and we should embrace his past. --jon hansen — 74.134.83.50 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete as advertising- Article as written appears to be unreferenced self-promotion for the DJ, probably cut and pasted from promotional material. Unless the article is cleaned up for neutrality with verifiable references to establish some notability, delete it. Dugwiki 17:38, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no notability here. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non notable college DJ. Claim to being a national personality because the show is streamed is laughable. Emeraude 20:02, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please, stick to commenting on the article deletion process. Positive or negative opinions on the show are not pertinent here. --Nehwyn 20:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While obscure to most, it is undeniable that Zande's popularity is steadily increasing throughout the midwest. His official addition to wikipedia is inevitable - if not now then soon. — 209.254.5.155 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Strong Delete. Advertising or vanity site. The "steadily increasing popularity" speculation violates WP:WWIN#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and is no reason to keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amatulic (talk • contribs)

This guy is pretty popular and his article should be left on Wikipedia once it gets cleaned up a bit and some more information is put on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.209.215.234 (talk • contribs)
