Cat Andrew

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Advertorially tinted WP:BLP of radio DJ and writer, which makes notability claims ("two of the best selling books on the subject") but fails to properly source them as true; the only sources here are the primary source program schedule of the station where he works, and a contextless unfootnoted list of incomplete citations in the format "Insight Magazine 1984" (which, great, but WHAT article in Insight Magazine WHEN in 1984?) This simply is not the kind of sourcing it takes to get a person into Wikipedia, and nothing here entitles him to an exemption from having to be referenced properly.

Delete I see no evidence the book "The 60s Start Here" ever existed, possibly a hoax article. Power~enwiki (talk) 18:25, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I think this is a hoax. No broadcaster of this name worked for BBC Radio 2 or Capital Radio in that era - the former is on Genome and no such person is revealed. So I have removed those claims, but I think this should go anyway. RobinCarmody (talk) 14:18, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that "Cat Andrew" is a stage name rather than his real name — so it's possible that he did work for the stations in question under a different name which the creator just failed to specify. But, of course, we would require reliable sourcing to properly verify that, so removing the claims wasn't wrong. Bearcat (talk) 14:58, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
