- Coyote Calhoun to retire after 35 years at WAMZ

- There's more, but he's clearly notable. GregJackP Boomer! 01:12, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- KEEP The notability has been established. The article needs a lot of improvement, but that is a function of more of a "notable enough to spend enough time to fix and source the article" problem that editors juggle. The on-air 1988 incident, for example, ended with police intervention and earned him the notoriety afterwards. I *think* the Birmingham market is big enough to establish him as a major DJ, but if it's not, the 1988 on-air firing is. The article would be fine with a smaller set of details and less narrative to fit the sources and relative notoriety. Fix, shorten, and keep. I like to saw logs! ( talk) 06:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

- I would agree with the Armysheep75 case. Louisville Coyote Calhoun was born in San Marcos, Texas [1], but his real name is simply not given. He worked in Wichita, Knoxville, and Sallisaw, Oklahoma. [2] There seems to be enough sourcing for an article on the Louisville Calhoun. A search of Radio & Records turns up mentions of a Coyote J. Calhoun that appears to be the subject of the AfD, but the lack of a searchable local paper really hinders me nailing down anything other than the fact that Coyote Calhoun and "Coyote J. Calhoun" or Coyote J are separate people. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- Keep provided that the information in the article about them being a producer is accurate. Being both a radio DJ and a music producer give them the notability required. Without that the notability is harder to determine. Having said that, the page certainly has room for improvement. Gusfriend ( talk) 06:23, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep thanks to the sources found by GregJackP. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:52, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Keep and Move to Coyote Calhoun. Many more quality sources appear using this name of which this reference is probably the most significant source. It documents his induction into the on-air personality category of the Country Radio Hall of Fame in 2005. This would mean he passes criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO. 4meter4 ( talk) 19:57, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
