The result was delete. No evidence of notability has been presented - Alexa and Google data were dropped from WP:WEB long ago, for good reason. Credible third-party sources are required. And "smirking chimp" actually turns up an impressive 4 unique results anyway.[1] --Sam Blanning^(talk) 12:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Smirking Chimp

• del: a blog without evidence of notability. `'mikka (t) 22:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep How does 364,000 Google hits square with lack of notability? Disagreeing with the subject of an article is not a valid reason for proposing deletion.Edison 15:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Most of those hits are just other bloggers (and for web based phenonmena, high google hits are very common). Can you maybe show how he meets WP:WEB? JoshuaZ 20:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep A notable and widely read blog with 1324 blogs / sites linking to it as documented by Alexa NBGPWS 08:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, WP:WEB, WP:RS, WP:V, all the usual suspects. If we can get some sources in the article that show notability, then maybe we can keep it, but as it stands, it's dumping material. Vectro 06:22, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
