Previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFO Phil . Tagged for speedy deletion as a repost, but this does have sources, so it is different. There are Google hits, but I'm not convinced this meets WP:BIO. Dloh cierekim 01:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Delete: Fails WP:BIO. Schuym1 (talk) 01:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Weak keep He probably doesn't meet WP:BIO to the letter; besides the sources in the article, all I can find is stuff like [http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/ufo_phil_the_movie/local/Calendar?oid=891083 this]. However, I think his association with two cult classic radio shows should count for something, so I'll throw in a Keep vote. We can verify that's he's been on those two programs, so the article technically doesn't violate any policies. Zagalejo^^^ 07:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Delete - of the two "classic radio shows", there is only evidence that Dr Demento played something by him once four years ago (check the reference provided), and on Coast to Coast he is not a regular participant, he is a frequent caller. I'm not convinced personally, this guy does not meet WP:BIO imo. -- role^player 16:18, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

:*[http://dmdb.org/cgi-bin/search_pl.pl?artistid=MSCF05P08 Here's] a more complete listing of his Dr. Demento appearances. It's not a bad showing. If I'm reading correctly, he's been in the Funny Five a few times. Zagalejo^^^ 18:27, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Strong keep As a regular listener of Coast to Coast on the Premiere Radio Network, I can tell you he is more than just a caller to the show. You can see evidence of his live in-studio appearance on the program [http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2007/09/14.html here]. Also, UFO Phil is the singer of the song Listening to Coast to Coast, which is one of the official theme songs of the program, as evidenced [http://www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2006/05/30.html here]. The song is played like clockwork and should definitely count for something. Phil was on the Dr Demento Show many times and I personally watched him as he appeared live on Tom Green's show. I am obviously a bit biased, but the facts remain. He is noteworthy. Forgive any format errors on my part - I am new to Wikipedia.Edit: I just found an IMDb entry for UFO Phil [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1342339 here], as well as a reference [http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1464663 here] to the UFO Phil movie being shown at a cinema in California.

Strong keep I agree with Dlohcierekim. Phil Hill or rather UFO Phil as he is more commonly known is more than just a caller On Coast to Coast and was on the Dr Demento Show many times and I also watched him on Tom Green's show. I mean he has a show on [http://www.stickam.com/ufophil stickam], a [http://www.youtube.com/user/UFOPhil Channel] on you tube, a MySpace[http://www.myspace.com/ufophil page] and a [http://events.sacbee.com/west-sacramento-ca/events/show/85772375-film-screening-ufo-phil-the-movie movie]currently out. What more does it take to have a listing on Wiki? How about some alien dna? Would that push him over the top? Ill see if Keanu Reeves can spare some. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Docthegaffer (talk • contribs) 08:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

::Actually I nommed for deletion. Did not !vote keep. Just indicated the status of the commentor. Watching someone does not make then notable, though any cited sources help. And myspace is not a reliable source. Having movie out does not ensure notability. Coverage still looks trivial to me. For those not experienced with AFD, AFD is not a vote. It is a consensus seeking discussion. Also, do please sign your comments by placing 4 ~'s at the end. Dloh cierekim 21:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Delete - Non-notable and does not meet WP:BIO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kareesa Tofa (talk • contribs) 21:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
