[edit] Idolblog

Idolblog (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Blog site that doesn't assert notability. I'd recommend it for speedy A7, except that the article's been around for a while, and [1] says it won an award, although I don't know how significant that might be. gadfium 21:17, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

    • I'm changing my (implicit) vote to Keep following the rewrite. Impressive work from Muchness.-gadfium 02:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, it's the second ghit for New Zealand Idol. Delete in its current form as nothing more than publicity for the blog design site, however. There's not much to say about the place. --humblefool® 21:48, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
    • That cleaned up nicely. Keep. --humblefool® 05:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete per {{db-web}} and {{db-nocontext}}. Cbrown1023 21:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, but needs a complete rewrite to establish notability and remove promotional copy. The website is highly notable within the New Zealand internet community. It has received national coverage in mainstream media; for example, item on nationally broadcast TV show; coverage in national periodical; several mentions in the New Zealand Herald, NZ's largest newspaper. --Muchness 23:18, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: I've rewritten the article with references to attempt to establish notability. --Muchness 01:19, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with NZ Idol. utcursch | talk 13:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't see any problem with it. - TuiKiwi
