Not very notable. Originally speedy tagged, so here now we can vote on the issue.

• Delete nn.--MONGO 08:15, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable blogger and law professor highly regarded for her views on Supreme Court issues - the New York Times recently for example. 1.6 million Google results for Ann Althouse see [1]

• Keep [[5]] 580 unique hits/1000, extrapolates to about 800,000 hits which is pretty notable. Also per CR above. I've never heard of her though. Eusebeus 10:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, I'm not even sure on what grounds this is up for delete, notability? The AfDer didn't even make a case for that, but I think a notable constitutional law scholar, blogger, etc puts it beyond a vanity submission (also it's linked by at least two other articles). In addition to the google search, a quick look at lexis reveals some 76 articles when searching for her as an author (though that search also includes "thanks" too) and searching for Ann Althouse reveals 427 results. mmmbeer^{T / C / ?} 12:53, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • A quick note, one of the linking articles really OUGHT to be up for AfD, Criticism of the BBC. mmmbeer^{T / C / ?} 12:59, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above. Fairly well-known political blogger. ESkog | ^Talk 15:05, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, per many reasons above. --badlydrawnjeff 15:17, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- JJay 20:50, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Althouse has been a major critic of Pajamas Media, which no one has proposed deleting; she's referenced there a lot. (And if we keep this one, can we restore the whole "feminism controversy" section that got scrubbed by Althouse's fans a few weeks ago?). Daniel Case 19:21, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
