message: First, the links to Bob Marshall and Robert Dean are incorrect; neither of them have anything to do with this person at CKLN.
And also, if you want a "RELIABLE" source, then an interview with Bob Dean is hardly "reliable."  As has already been said both here and here, this is a man who claims to be over 80 years old, to have met Hitler, to have introduced Prince Charles to Lady Diana, and who "inspired" the Church of the SubGenius -- all of which are flat-out lies.  Based on this, claims by Dean as to his origins are also unreliable. --Modemac 20:19, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Where's your proof that they are lies, Modemac? I'm still investigating Dean/Dobb's claims (it's still unclear what his actual name is (let alone anything else he says), considering I've emailed several people who claim to know him and refer to him as "Dobbs", not "Dean" (as I have posted to alt.slack). Taking Stang's word for it (and anyone associated with him, such as you) is just as hypocritical. ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ|c) 05:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: He refers to himself by the name "Bob Dobbs" because that name gained some fame from it's use by the Church of the SubGenius, who invented it and the concept behind it. This way he can get some attention.  He knows if he didn't use the name, he would not be capable of getting any attention on his own. This has been explained to you laboriously and clearly already.  If you want to "investigate" it, just find one instance where Bob Dean used the name Bob Dobbs before the Church of the Subgenius.  Simple. --Reverend Zapanaz 18:25, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His diary (Android Meme's Xenochrony) was allegedly written long before the SubGenius and he refers to himself as "Bob Dobbs" in it all the way back to the beginning... ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ|c) 22:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: you have seen pictures of him, at least.  If you believe he was old enough to have spoken to James Joyce in 1935, you are an idiot.  --Reverend Zapanaz 06:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

text: This exact conversation took place on alt.slack a month ago, and this exact subject was argued over there.  Your pretending that it didn't is just trolling.  The burden of proof is on Dean to provide evidence that he "inspired" Ivan Stang and Philo Drummond (he didn't), that he was an "intelligence agent" in the 1950s (he wasn't), that he was born in Paris in 1922 (he wasn't), that his ridiculous claims of meeting famous figures (again, such as Hitler and Prince Charles) actually happened (they didn't), and that he is anything at all other than a silly kook who invents Munchausen-like stories about himself in an attempt to sound important and get attention by stealing the hard work of others.  He has yet to provide evidence of his lies, and he can't because they're just hot air.  This makes any "evidence" such as those blog interviews or Paranoia magazine articles or podcast interviews unreliable, and thus they do not hold up to Wikipedia's standard of verifiability.  --Modemac 11:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Granted, Bob has made a lot of outrageous claims without proof, but that isn't the issue here; whether or not he appeared on CKLN-FM is--and, apparently, you agree he has. So, please, leave your based non-neutral edits out of Wikipedia. ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ|c) 22:28, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: His name isn't Bob Dobbs.  He refers to himself by the name "Bob Dobbs" because that name gained some fame from it's use by the Church of the SubGenius, who invented it and the concept behind it. This way he can get some attention.  He knows if he didn't use the name, he would not be capable of getting any attention on his own.  Adding a reference to him in Wikipedia under the name Bob Dobbs is inaccurate.  --Reverend Zapanaz 06:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, his article name on Wikipedia is not the issue here. And lay off the personal attacks--you've been warned on your talk page. ∞ΣɛÞ² (τ|c) 09:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your original contribution was under the name "Bob Dobbs", which is why I brought it up. --Reverend Zapanaz 04:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  So-called "Bob Dobbs" information is inaccurate and not NPOV 

message: Some consideration should be given to reducing the amount of space  provided to the Ezra Levant commentary in the CKLN page. If persons are interested in reading his comments, the footnote will successfully lead persons to the Sun News site which contains all of the quoted material. Perhaps paraphrasing or providing the drift to his comments would be more appropriate. The amount of weight of his statements, relative to the total history of CKLN, or even the revocation of CKLN's license itself, appears disproportionate, and tends to create a certain bias to the article.Prawnsyscheme (talk) 14:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ezra Levant section on CKLN wikipedia page 

message: I added some cited material that Arnold Minors claimed for well over a year to be the "Chair of the CKLN board". He was even quoted in a Bermudan newspaper, while he was the press secretary to the Bermudan PM, something to the effect that his media experience was having run "Ryerson's radio station". For some reason, an editor saw fit to remove this, for reasons I am unclear. I think it is significant to mention it, because reference to him also shows up repeatedly in the CRTC hearing transcripts for CKLN. I should note that the "multiple board" references seem anecdotal at best and no names are attached to the claims. Minors was definitely the most prominent and longest serving "rival" board spokesperson, and he is a notable person not only for being Bermudan press secretary but for the controversies that followed him when he was on the Toronto Police Services Board.
Any suggestions about this would be appreciated.

replies: text: Check out the listing on the Radio stations in the Greater Toronto Area table for VEK565 90.71 and CHEV - they aren't listed as defunct but are listed with a notation that reads "internet only". If a station is still operating but internet only, referring to it as "defunct" is misleading. The only stations listed as defunct on the table are ones that aren't broadcasting on air or on the internet. 69.165.129.232 (talk) 02:36, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
