• Delete Lots of Google hits, but nothing I would call a reliable source. It doesn't look verifiable to me. -- Donald Albury 18:02, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The information presented on the page seems to admit its own non-notability by focusing on the notable people who have been featured on the program, and not the program itself. The fact that its two main members use MySpace as a home page is also indicative of the notability problem. Most of the reading about its notable guests fail to mention their connection to the program, or do so in a very limited way. Consequentially 03:35, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I have been working with this article recently, and I've been continually deleting comments that seem to be promotionals. If it is not to be deleted, (which is also completely fine) then it needs to be seriously cleaned up, allowing non-biased claims, removing self-praising claims in the article. (sorry for not having a wiki account, I haven't taken the initiative to make one). 75.18.189.236 03:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The atheist community is obviously going to be a smaller subset of the population that that of christianity. The Rational Response Squad is a notable entity. They play as one of the two most popular shows on the largest free thought internet radio station. If you base the minority of the population which subscribes to such a station, any atheist internet radio show would not qualify as "notable". I would say that endoresements by people like Richard Carrier, Sam Harris, and Brian Flemming would be enough to consider them notable. The Rational Response Squad carried out a "War on Easter" last year, distributing copies of The God Who Wasn't There, an atheist dvd exposing reasons christ couldn't have existed, all across the nation through various members. Their genesis of this event alone qualifies them as notable, and the article is definitely encyclopedic. --Cbenard 16:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep.
• Keep. Various reasons to keep this include, and are not limited to, many hits on google and other sites, hundreds of thousands of listeners weekly, thousands upon thousands of myspace friends, and an intruiging yet thought provoking glimpse into Atheist America. To delete this, we must also delete Sean Hannity and his radio show, as well as Rush Limbaugh. Deleting this is like deleting the Bill of Rights.

• Keep. Following what Cbenard said, the "War on Easter" was talked about on Fox News XM and Sirius Radio. "RRS" has about 20,000 friends on their myspace account, and they don't use "myspace as their homepage" as another person said. Their site is RationalResponders.com which is a thriving community. Furthermore the Alexa rankings for the site are innaccurate, as Alexa often is. The site seems to not be registering traffic since they changed their site, as you can see they used to be much much higher in Alexa rankings but for some reason in a time period when they are experiencing more traffic, Alexa says their experiencing less. On their website you can note their traffic fluctuates from 200-1000 visitiors at any given time. --Infidelaholic 16:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
