Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Russ Martin

message: In the beginning, there was darkness...and the darkness led to dark days on the daily journies hither and thither to and from the employment of man. Man looked at this darkness, and he frowned, and all was not right with the world. Then came the phenom that is the Russ Martin show, and there was laughter, and there was joy, and there were explosions (sometimes in dumpsters), and the darkness became light. People smiled, and they laughed, and that dark dreary thing called a commmute was made that much brighter, and the people from Dallas and Fort Worth Texas united, and they paid homage to Russ Martin. They showed that they cared about a radio show from Texas, and about a host, who cares (even when he says he doesn't, we all know better) about people and about animals, and about doing what's right by law enforcement, and firemen, and the people who stand guard for this country. His charity is a wonderful organization, and his show is a magical occurance. You would do a great injustice by deleting the acknowlegement of it. I beseech you to think otherwise.

thread_title:  Keep the Russ Martin page 

message: Russ Martin is highly involved with the Dallas/Ft Worth community.  He is known for his charity work benefiting local police and fire fighters as well as animals and for his entertaining radio shows past and present.  None of the statements made on the page are original research.  He does have those various personas, J.D. is the Grand Dragon, Russ does have an obsession with Batman, etc.  Most facts can be verified (with pics) on his website, RussMartin.com.  I personally do not see a reason to delete this page.  It provides relevant information for an individual wanting more information about Russ Martin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.7.57 (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  KEEP! 

message: To say this the wiki article on Russ is a fan site more than an informational site is inaccurate.  Sure, any biographical information about Russ and his show appeals to fans because they reflect the reasons why our adorations are so high.  However, a true fan site about Russ Martin must include various pictures of topless women, dogs, PDs in chicken costumes and big headed sidekicks.  Anything less, is, well, a wikipedia article.
Keep the article up.  His show's contribution to radio and charities alone makes it worthy of place on wikipedia.  Tack on his stratospheric ratings, his ability to will people to commit suicide and the fact that he's never been protested by Al Sharpton, and you wonder why he's not headlining news on CNN three nights out of the week.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattbeezo (talk • contribs) 03:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank God for Russ Martin. It would be a total shame for this article to be deleted off this encyclopedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.45.66 (talk) 04:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
