[edit] IsraPundit

Previous nomination: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IsraPundit

Delete. non-notable blog (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 23:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 14:24, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as accredited news source as per Google News. [1]

Survived AfD vote last time. Capitalistroadster 16:02, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Capitalistroadster, previous AfD. Samaritan 16:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom because of its inclusion on Google's News page. Google News is not an accreditation agency, and notability is not established just because some unknown Google employee decided toss this blog onto their arbitrary "acceptable" list. In fact, its inclusion as a Google News source inherently renders the standard AfD Google search engine test invalid, and means that we must find an alternate, unbiased way of showing notability. And since the article doesn't assert any notability itself, except saying "Hey look, Little Green Footballs linked to us!", I vote delete by default. I'm willing to change my vote, however, if any alternate evidence of notability is shown. --Aaron 19:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Aaron and per WP:WEB.--Isotope23 21:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep notable blog. Google News sources don't get more Google hits than anyone else. — Adrian Lamo ·· 08:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per Adrian. Stifle 22:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
