NOTE OF WHY THIS ARTICLE SHOULD NOT BE DELETED: I have removed the deletion notice because the article in its content already disclosed why the subject (John Edward McCarthy) was a well-known national radio personality. The article on him disclosed that: "He played the part of the Green Hornet on the famous radio series from 1947 until the program ended in December, 1952." While younger people will not be aware of the tremendous national fame of the Green Hornet national radio show, anyone over the age of 60 will immediately recognize it. John Edward McCarthy (known then as "Jack McCarthy") was already mentioned on the Wikipedia page for "Green Hornet." I simply supplied the biographical data on the radio actor already noted in that page.Jtmc (talk) 18:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)jtmc[reply]

REMOVAL OF NO REFERENCE WARNING:I removed the warning “This article does not cite any references or sources. (May 2008)” because in the Bibliography, the article does in fact cite an important historical source for the radio station WXYZ and the national radio serials that were broadcast from it from the 1930s until 1950s: Dick Osgood, WYXIE Wonderland (1981 Bowling Green Univ. Press) (ISBN: 0-87972-187-1) Jtmc (talk) 14:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)jtmc[reply]

That tag has been changed. That reference needs to be footnoted in the article to make it clear where this information is being referenced from .--Rtphokie (talk) 14:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
