: Marsden was program director of CFNY-FM, which was one of the most influential radio stations in all of North America, not just Canada, during the time he held the position. This article did historically contain sufficient referencing, which has been removed for no reason that's immediately obvious to me. He's been written about by Marshall McLuhan; he's been profiled (twice, under different personas) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's pretty damn notable. And I'm mystified by the notion that an article subject having posted to Wikipedia:Reference desk about something other than his own article has any bearing on whether his article should be kept or not. Keep; I'll devote some attention to getting it back up to snuff. Bearcat (talk) 21:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
