  • Delete: Only one verifiable major reference (the Oregon PBS link is a trivial mention), and so fails WP:V.  RGTraynor  14:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep There are two RSs for her blogging activities. The PBS link though not entirely devoted to her is not trivial--she appears in the first paragraph & later.DGG 00:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. In addition to the two in the article, looking her up at newslibrary.com seems to indicate she's been invited several times to participate in CNN and slate.com features that discuss blogosphere reactions to various political events. So her blogging does seem to be at least somehwat notable. Mwelch 01:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: I hadn't not heard of this woman before, but if she was mentioned in the Washington Post...well then she has drawn some attention to herself. Further more, she has a published book and has appeared as panelist on CNN linkas was stated above. Fixer1234 03:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: per Washington Post and other significant sources. --Valley2city₪‽ 06:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
