2006 apology for listener correspondence

[edit]

I think we can safely say that Bowman apologising for having read out a racist listener comment live on air the day before, in 2006, after getting zero listener complaints for having done so, has now comprehensively failed the WP:10YEARS test. Is there some importance to this non-story that we're missing, User:Andrewdoc? --Lord Belbury (talk) 10:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's clearly still relevant, and it did actually draw listener complaints. Your use of 'non-story' highlights your agenda. Andrewdoc (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The cited source says that Radio 1 received no complaints about it. In what way is it relevant to a full-life biography of Bowman? It's looking WP:UNDUE if there was no further consequence or mention of it, and I can't see any lasting press coverage. I've removed it per WP:ONUS, pending a clearer argument for its inclusion. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:14, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lord Belbury Indeed, racism is always important, and should be highlighted at all times. Andrewdoc (talk) 04:49, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
