Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Otaku generation
I'll admit that the current article for Otaku Generation could due with some "spring cleaning" but I think it's a decent start at a page which covers the show.  The initial deletion request seems to have been made due to the supposed "non-notability" of the Otaku Generation website.  Internet culture and media do not always have a high cross-over rate with print culture and media so the fact that the show was mentioned in Newtype USA is already a good first step showing its popularity.  The  notability guidelines referrenced relate to websites only and although Otaku Generation has a web presense, the Otaku Generation wiki article is primarily in reference to the show itself and not the website www.OtakuGeneration.net.  If the Otaku Generation article were to be deleted for non-notability it must first be shown to be non-notable as an entertainment broadcast.  I'm using the term "entertainment broadcast" to encompass any audio or video media regardless of delivery method be it internet, over the air broadcast, satelite, cable, or local public access.  Not all podcasts will be as popular as This_week_in_tech|This Week in Tech or Rocketboom but that does not mean they are undeserving of a wikipedia article outlining the show.  As long as Otaku Generation continues to produce shows on a consistant basis and has an evergrowing viewership, I see no reason that their article should be deleted.  In looking over the wiki article standards, I do feel that the article for the show should be re-arranged/edited.  It should focus more on the cast of the show, the history of the show, and how the show is produced as opposed to being primarily a list of in-jokes and nicknames.  In-jokes are good for helping new listeners understand what the cast is referrencing in various segments of the show. The nicknames portion of the article isn't as informative since the bulk of nicknamed listeners are only mentioned when their nickname is created -- with the exception of frequent "callers" such as Johny Two-Times, Kitty, Jefferson, and Mega
