• Strong Keep. The man is a pioneer in blogging; he coined the term 'weblog'. That should be significant enough. Google for john barger blogger turns up 133,000. -Hmib 01:15, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough that his activities are covered by mainstream news media. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:19, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a disruptive VfD nomination. Rhobite 02:23, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep, coining the term weblog seems noteworthy in the blog field to me. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:41, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep; if people believe this is disruptive, they should consider discussing it with User:Bloghate, or filing an WP:RFC. Radiant_>|< 09:37, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. If I understand the article correctly, Jorn Barger coined the neologism weblog and is an influential member of the blogosphere. This listing is disruptive and an RfC should be filed against the nominator. Hall Monitor 16:49, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If coining the term "weblog" and having over 32,000 hits on Google is not noteworthy enough then I don't know what is. --  B.d.mills  (Talk)
• Keep Bloghate has an agenda and I think this person is significant enough to stay in. --TNLNYC 22:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• keep please this does seem to be disruptive Yuckfoo 22:47, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He's well known in Internet/Usenet/Web development circles, and his site predates the phenomenon of blogging as a "craze"; it's ridiculous to cite him as a "mere blogger" (even if that were a valid criteria for deletion). *Dan* 03:41, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Barger should probably be the first blogger on WP. I'd even trust him to edit his own entry. Dystopos 13:40, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Duh, keep. claviola (talk to me) 20:46, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
