- Keep The National Post reference, already in the article, is detailed and significant. I've fixed the link, but it should have popped in a Proquest search. There is a LOT of mentions of him as a key player during Mayor Rob Ford's drug and sex scandals, as Ford would appear repeatedly, often exclusively, and sometimes even sober, on Agar's show. Also in the Tuggs scandal, as reported nationally in the Globe and Mail. Nfitz (talk) 19:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I know of him, but can't find much of anything about him. [1] is confirmation of his radio show. He's been sued for defamation a few times, but that doesn't make him notable here. Oaktree b (talk) 20:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Nfitz' refs. As to Oaktree b's comment about defamation suits: I think they belong here if, but only if, he lost a suit, had to retract his comments or to apologize. This is because any valid defamation accusations speak to his reliability as a broadcaster, a salient issue in his field. --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 17:52, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
