and condense (or '''redirect''') to '''Kiki Sanford'''. The keep arguments in the previous AFD provided assertions but no actual evidence of notability, basically a combination of ,  and . I am not finding any evidence of  and especially not . None of the current 3 sources in the article are independent: the site itself, Dr. Sanford's resume, and the http://acfnewsource.org.s60463.gridserver.com/science/science_on_air.html ACF Newsource ref. which appears to be a press release. The https://www.fastweb.it/social/la-divulgazione-scientifica-al-tempo-dei-social/ fastweb.it source is a passing mention, although it makes the very bold assertion of "undoubtedly" the most famous science podcast in the world.  There is a https://www.ucdavis.edu/news/radio-station-lends-voice-lighter-side-science brief profile published by UC Davis, which is not very independent. The https://www.youtube.com/user/ThisWeekinScience YouTube Channel has 14.5k subscribers (is that a lot? I don't know YouTube or podcast trends), and the Twitter account has 4.5k followers. (''Science Friday'' has over https://www.youtube.com/user/SciFri 173k YouTube subscribers, so maybe the "most famous in the world" claim is in fact doubtable). The podcast seems to pop up several podcast directories, but that of course doesn't make it notable. The podcast's rather commonplace title somewhat hinders research (https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6456/twis false positives). If there is no independent, |significant coverage, then this cannot realistically be expanded without becoming more promotional, essentially a second official website. Lastly, I think it's just a bit unnerving that the official site invites fans (Minions (Despicable Me)|minions?) to edit the show's Wikipedia article as a  https://www.twis.org/minion-projects/ "Minion project
