[edit] Overheard in New York
non-notable blog. Getting mentioned in Slate isn't enough, I can name hundreds of other blogs that could make the same claim. wikipediatrix 16:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep There is no question that this is a highly notable website that garners over 1.3 million hits on Google, won a Bloggie for 2006 Most Humorous Blog, and has spawned a book. --Birdmessenger 16:22, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Just a few quick checks shows that this one meets notability with no problem. StuffOfInterest 16:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This site is popular. I've definitely read print articles about this site.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 16:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep ONY is a huge site, commonly-read and often blogged. It's been featured on NPR and in many other media outlets, and a bunch of the content was published in book form (as noted by Birdmessenger, above) by Chamberlain Brothers (an imprint of Penguin) earlier this year. Or late last year. One of those. - Corporal Tunnel 17:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per Birdmessenger. --Lazybum 18:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per above. Site has also inspired a few spinoffs (Overheard in the Office, Overheard at the Beach) and has inspired similar sites for other locales. Sertrel 21:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Keep The site has also been featured all over the mainstream media, including articles/programs in the NY Times, CNN, and many major newspapers, magazines, and TV channels, and was one of the Top 50 Web sites of the year (2005, maybe?) according to Time Magazine. A book version of the site was published by Penguin, one of the largest publishers in the USA. Also, according to Technorati, it is the widely linked-to humor blog on the Internet. --CityWanderer
