Contested deletion edit
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...He is the weekend host of a major overnight talk show Coast to Coast Am. he also is very important in the voice over industry. I feel he is of importance because of his approach to interviewing and the content of the show he is on. --Bigvig316 (talk) 01:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
This article contains some opinions that are not included in the sources (such as source 4). It could use some cleanup, I believe) Jtarb (talk) 18:57, 17 May 2013 (UTC)Jtarb
Axed? edit
Seems to be the case that Wells is gone from Coast to Coast? Fotoguzzi (talk) 23:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Secondary sources edit
Need good secondary sources: mentions in periodicals other than blogs and radio station webpages. See WP policies and guidelines. Also, list of stations he has worked on, although impressive, fits WP recommendations against 'laundry lists.' All that said, I don't believe the article sbould be deleted because he is no longer heard on 'Coast,' any more than that his presense on 'Coast' was alone enough to create notability.

- Either way, I think we need more sources than just SPLC for the "far-right" label to be appropriate in Wikivoice. (t · c) buidhe 09:50, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Temporary page protection edit
On 20 January 2021, an administrator protected John B. Wells for three days due to persistent disruptive editing. That disruption consisted of edit warring as the direct result of a tweet from John B. Wells to his 40.5K followers complaining that he could not change his own bio because his IP address had been repeatedly blocked. His solicitation obviously worked. While it may be futile, I nevertheless encourage his fans to respect Wikipedia's editorial process. If you have concerns over content, please express them on this talk page (which remains unprotected) and await consensus. Thank you. NedFausa (talk) 20:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
