[edit] Velvet Underground (blog)

Completing a nomination: a doubt about the actual notability of this blog has been raised [1], of which I have no idea. The editors from Israel may help here. - Liberatore(T) 16:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• Not an Israeli editor, but i never heard about that blog, and I know other notable blogs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.153.137.115 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
• delete The only hits I see are those related to a band. --Starionwolf 01:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep The most important blog in Israel right now Shmila 12:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep A blog that covers Israeli media, for sure it is the only serious one, naturally there are not many english google search results for it. Marina T.| 10:45, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep per above. --Coredesat 08:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Marina T. - but the article needs some links/citations to show evidence that it passes WP:WEB Kevin 09:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, per above, Alexa traffic ranking of 613 --☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 11:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • The Alexa rank refers to the whole site, which appears to contain other blogs (see below). - Liberatore(T) 17:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless it is demonstrated that this meets the criteria laid out at WP:WEB.--Isotope23 12:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Can this be incorporated into an article on Media in Israel or Journalism in Israel? --Uncle Ed 16:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable in Israel, has a healthy google and alexia rating and enough sources to back up claims.--Auger Martel 16:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Google and Alexa are irrelevant to meeting WP:WEB criteria, but I'd be interested to see any sources or cites that indicate this meets WP:WEB.--Isotope23 16:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Incidentally, the alexa ranking refers to the whole site nana.co.il. It seems to me that this site has a number of other blogs; for example, here is what appears to be another blog on the same site. - Liberatore(T) 17:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Isotope23. JChap 01:17, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard of it and I'm not from Israel. Ace of Sevens 16:30, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep most famous blog in Israel, not hurting anyone Joeyramoney 17:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
