Notability

Out of all the sources cited in the article and the previous deletion discussion the only one that even mentions “Dear Hank & John” is the IndyStar source, which dedicates a single sentence to the subject. There’s some content about vlogging in the sources mentioned in the previous deletion discussion, but it appears to be related to their youtube channel called vlogbrothers not the podcast “Dear Hank & John”. I went ahead and added some reference ideas above, but even those sources are borderline trivial mentions. Perhaps merging this article with the Green brothers would be a good idea.

I think the notability concern is resolved by the references to being a top podcast in various major distribution channels. I’m going to remove the top hat. —Cliffb (talk) 08:55, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title Change Trigger

It seems like it would be notable to have a bit on the title of the podcast, and that if humans don’t make it to Mars by a certain date the title will change to Dear John and Hank. Does anyone have the details of that handy? —Cliffb (talk) 08:55, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a relatively obscure fact and really more of a running gag. If the change does go through, it can be explained then. Radagast (talk) 19:44, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
