[edit] Blog award

With prizes being things like $20 gift certificates to amazon.com I really don't think this should be up to debate.. but, alexa ranking of 570,000, no google news. Vanity/advertisement/not notable Skrewler 02:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, notable and verifiable phenomenon. Rhobite 03:32, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, this is more worthlessness. --86.2.56.178 03:46, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Anonymous votes are not counted in AfD. Rhobite 03:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Rhobite, I've removed your strikethrough of another user's vote. Your point still stands, for what it is worth. AndyJones 18:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep this seems like an article about blog awards in general rather than a specific blog award, so concerns like Alexa rank, small prizes, etc don't really apply. Current article needs help, but I'm pretty sure there's an encyclopedia article in there somewhere. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:39, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep as per WP:WEB and expand. Various notable organisations such as the Guardian, [1], Reporters sans frontieres [2], the Washington Post [3] and Time Magazine [4] have run blog awards. The Online Journalism Review has run a story on blog awards [5]. Definitely verifiable and of interest outside the blogging community. Capitalistroadster 17:43, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep search for "bloggies" (which redirects to blog awards) to find 900,000+ google hits, and 2 google news items. --Quiddity 23:57, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Obvious importance. Some vandal has a thing about blogs, apparently? --Daniel11 01:48, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as notable. Turnstep 02:36, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep notable. __earth 03:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Cap' and Quid'. Alf ^melmac 12:41, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
