Talk:Jerry Klein's 2006 radio experiment

message: This story has been picked up by the international media, is linked to by several other pages and is historically significant as a mark of the state of Muslims in America during a war with Muslim theocrats.Wowaconia 13:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have been picked up by the BBC and Reuters, but should everything that appears in the BBC have a Wikipedia page devoted to it????User:Wowaconia is taking this opportunity to turn  Wikipedia into a soapbox agaist WP:SOAP.   This article describes ONE segment of a AM radio talk show.  The host made very seriously racist and provactive comments which he pretended to advocate for on his talk show.  Callers called in.  Some callers (horrifyingly) agreed with these manufactured points of view; others strongly did not.  This was NOT a scientific sample.  This was not even a regular poll.  The writers of this article are using the article as their SOAPBOX to say that the plight of Muslims in the US now IS THE SAME as the plight of Jews in Germany under the Nazis.  This is NOT how Muslims are treated in the US.  Muslims have equal rights in the US, which has had separation of church and state since inception.  Please review Nuremberg Laws to begin to edify yourself about the rights of Jews in Nazi Germany.  Elizmr 20:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi, someone removed the AFD tag from the article before the matter was settled.  I have not done an AFD before, and if I did it incorrectly then let me know. But it is against policy to remove the tag.  There is a talk page to disucss the deletion and I put the reason for deletion there.  Please replace it.  Elizmr 14:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you would've questioned the notability here I could've pointed out all the international media that picked up this story and talked about if it needed to be renamed or other such concerns.--Wowaconia 04:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the first time I brought an AFD and I followed the steps that editors are instructed to follow in these matters.  The tag itself says not to removed it until the AFD is decided.  I'm not making this stuff up.  Elizmr 20:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Look, I followed the directions as best I could.  I apologize if I didn't do everything right.  Please consider also apologizing for removing the tag.  Elizmr 20:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  deletion tag removed from article before admin action 

message: The article was retitled from "...Parody" to "...Radio Experiment" as during the discussion on whether to delete this article, many editors linked the word parody to comedians like Stephen Colbert. As Klein is not a comedian, nor was he trying to be funny I changed the article name to reflect these facts and clear up confusion.--Wowaconia 20:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
