[edit] Bloggernacle

Non-notable neologism. --W(t) 19:44, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)

• Delete non notable neologism. JamesBurns 04:56, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: The article itself uses that wiggle word of "some": It's a term used by "some" Mormon bloggers. Could that be 2 buddies? Wikipedia is not a web guide, nor the Jargon File. Geogre 05:15, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: No, more like over one hundred buddies. Here's where it started http://www.timesandseasons.org/archives/000562.html and here are some other uses of it on the Internet http://www.google.com/search?q=bloggernacle and here is where the New York Times used the term. http://web.mit.edu/21w.780/Materials/blogs%20and%20religion%20NYT.html - Kmsiever 02:43, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Unencyclopedia and unnotable. -- Cabhan 02:47, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I'd like to vote for keeping the term. It's become well known online. A google search for "bloggernacle" pulls up 18,800 hits. It's the Mormon equivalent of the Catholic term "St. Blog's Parish" which has a wikipedia entry. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Blog%27s_Parish ). The blogger conference (BloggerCon) run by the Pew Forum discussed faith-based blogging communities, and included the bloggernacle in the list. (See http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:kSKOjCDsRPQJ:blogs.law.harvard.edu/bloggerCon/2004/04/07+bloggernacle+jblog&hl=en ). It's a term that is used by enough people that it should have an entry. (And by the way, I apologize if I'm doing the voting thing wrong. I've never voted on wikipedia before. I didn't see a "Vote" button so I clicked "Edit" and I'm putting in a comment that way. Is that how I'm supposed to do it?). Thanks. Kaimi W. --User:Kaimipono
  • This vote is Kaimipono's first and only edit on Wikipedia --Allen3 ^talk July 4, 2005 15:17 (UTC)
• Keep it. Neologism but notable.

• Delete non notable neologism. Toasthaven 28 June 2005 16:39 (UTC)
• Keep -- Definitely notable as per Kmsiever (used in NYT article) and by Kaimi (see his comments above). To be sure, the word "Bloggernacle" is synonymous with LDS/Mormon blogs.
  • This unsigned vote is Bduffin's first and only edit on Wikipedia --Allen3 ^talk July 4, 2005 15:17 (UTC)
• Keep -- Used by blogosphere godfather Dave Winer and by New York Times.
  • Unsigned vote by 69.140.41.228 --Allen3 ^talk July 4, 2005 15:17 (UTC)

Keep- used by many, provides a meaningful label to a well established and prevalent community

• • Unsigned vote by 66.238.118.146 --Allen3 ^talk July 4, 2005 15:17 (UTC)
• keep - it is becoming the key term for the Mormon on-line community
  • Unsigned vote by 70.149.73.144 --Allen3 ^talk July 4, 2005 15:17 (UTC)
• Keep. It is the most-used term for Mormon bloggers, and as Kmsiever's information shows, it has made its way into the mainstream media. I think it's notable, and unless you're also going to delete St. Blog's Parish as not notable, it should stay. Oh, and this is not my first and only edit on Wikipedia. --EricJamesStone 5 July 2005 21:29 (UTC)
• Delete - sockpuppet limit exceeded. --FCYTravis 6 July 2005 01:13 (UTC)
