The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 16:35, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
Old-time radio → Golden Age of Radio – Cannot move because a redirect already exists at the new name. The move is discussed and unopposed on the Talk page. – ChetvornoTALK 23:06, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Bringing to RM for more visibility. (Technical request permalink) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 01:17, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Chetvorno: Two lists that are tangentially related: List of old-time radio programs and List of old-time American radio people. For the record, I'm neutral. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 23:44, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding this template, Andy. I agree a more high-profile notice than my entry above was needed for this proposed move, giving people the opportunity to comment. --ChetvornoTALK 07:15, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Support if the title is capitalized, oppose if it's not and turns out to be written "golden age of radio" (this is happening more and more on Wikipedia). Randy Kryn 15:34, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Support with the same reasoning as Randy Kryn. Anarchyte (work | talk) 12:29, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
Discussion of links
editIn order to not loose any previous discussions, I am listing the Discussion of links subpage here. This talk message will eventually get archived, but it'll result in (hopefully) all the discussions being accessible. Anarchyte (work | talk) 06:07, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
Jean Shepherd had a Vaudeville or Hollywood background before radio???
editCurrently the main text claims that "Radio attracted top comedy talents from vaudeville and Hollywood" and lists many examples, among them Jean Shepherd. Shepherd's page has no mention of any vaudeville experience -- not too surprising since Shepherd wasn't born until 1921. Nor does it mention Hollywood. Shepherd's first acting credit listed at IMDB is in 1954, by which time he was well-established in radio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:4100:36A0:68E0:FAAA:FCC5:4F6A (talk) 02:24, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
Moreover, his uncredited portrayal of "Man at Party" would be hardly be seen as making him a "top comedy talent." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:98A:4100:36A0:68E0:FAAA:FCC5:4F6A (talk) 02:27, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
