[edit] John_Breslin

• If it is agreed that this person is not a notable blogger, they should be removed from the Categories: Bloggers section. Apart from that, the article seems valid and I would leave it as is. --Kier Allison 22:16, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Is he notable enough to have an article? Running a web site and discussing Quake is not really grounds for having an article in my opinion, but feel free to prove me wrong with some evidence of notability. Kryptops 23:56, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Try Googling for Breslin or John Breslin. I clicked on the Boards.ie site and it isn't just a Quake bulletin board: there are hundreds of forums, and at the moment there's over 42000 members registered there. --Kier Allison 04:14, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Having 42000 members on your forums still doesn't make you eligible for inclusion in an encyclopedia, and I see nothing notable about the google search results. Can you actually provide evidence of why this deserves to be here? Has he done anything exceptional? I am abstaining from actually voting until more facts are presented, because I had previously not heard of this man or his internet site/blog, and wish to see if there are reasons to keep the article here.

• Delete We shouldn't favour people whose activities are relatively more prominent on the internet than in the real world, and so far as I can see he's not really any more significant than most moderately successful people his age. CalJW 13:19, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
