[edit] Allah Is in the House

Non-notable defunct blog. Gflores ^Talk 06:09, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I've never heard of it either, but "Allah Is in the House" blog does garner 250,000+ Google results, and Allahpundit gets 175,000, in my mind meeting the criteria for notability. I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter 06:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, seems to be a notable blog; as said above there are quite a few Google results, many of which are relevant --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 07:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable blog, I used to read this sometimes when it was still active. Was widely linked to at the time from other major blogs. Sandstein 07:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. -- Arnzy (Talk) 10:25, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable. Newyorktimescrossword 20:31, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep, definitely a notable blog, was widely linked to. Allah still contributes to other blogs. ProhibitOnions 22:58, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Jay(Reply) 23:26, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete This defunct blog doesn't appear to have met any of the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If it has, please add proof of that criteria to the article. Esquizombi 23:33, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I added this entry because the website wasn't around anymore, so I didn't know if/when anyone else would. As indicated, most of the content was humorous (as with The Best Page in the Universe), although the website did contribute original research in the Killian documents scandal. I knew that, due to its limited life and the limited scope of its (generally right-wing) audience, someone would try to delete it, so I hope those who vote first look at the links I posted, including those to the National Review Online, Free Republic, InstaPundit, and Andrew Sullivan. Allah Is in the House was important and influential in its time, so much so that it was difficult for me to find a right-wing political weblog whose archives didn't link to it. It would be a shame to see its entry deleted solely due to its now being defunct. Calbaer 20:26, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This article is being linked to today by Michelle Malkin at http://www.michellemalkin.com. Michelle is one of the biggest conversvative bloggers in the world and it is embarrassing that this article is being linked to while it is being considered for deletion. Since there is no consensus here to delete and we're close to the end of the five-day deletion process, I am going to end this AfD and remove the deletion notice.--Alabamaboy 16:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

And for what it's worth, the fact that this article is being linked to by Michelle Malkin (who has like 11.3 million Google hits), and that the person who is the subject of the article is guest-editing for her, seems to remove any question of whether or not the subject of the article is notable.--Alabamaboy 16:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
