[edit] Danny O'Brien

Delete Seems very vanity like Bloghate 04:46, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Abstain for now. Not certain of "Need To Know"'s notability or of the prominence of the EFF's Activist Coordinator position. — Gwalla | Talk 04:55, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable blogger and journalist. Davelong 10:31, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Best hope is in the EEF activist coordinator, IMO, but the other things listed do not give notability. The fact that he's English, a journalist, and a writer for Wired don't do it. Geogre 15:00, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not notable. "EFF activist coordinator" doesn't do it. CDC (talk) 16:15, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep weakly only because if he is a journalist of SOME notably, then I think he is encyclopedic. Antares33712 21:27, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. James F. (talk) 23:30, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable British tech journalist. Qwghlm 23:44, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Mr. O'Brien is a significant employee of a notable organization, the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The parts of the article listing his work as a blogger and writer are additional information that add to his significance. The entire article is consistent with a NPOV, and 'seems very vanity like' is a poor pretense for deletion of someone who happens to blog. --ElfWord 14:59, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. chocolateboy 22:25, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I'm rather neutral on the article, but oppose User:Bloghate's POV attempt to purge all blog related articles. -- Infrogmation 02:25, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Need to Know is one of the top electronic newsletters in Europe and was an important chronicler of the dotcom bubble in Europe. --TNLNYC 22:30, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep his credentials show encyclopedic material to me.--Poli 03:39, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
