[edit] Tyler Bleszinski

  • Delete - contested prod. Not particularly notable creator of a not particularly notable blog. Wickethewok 07:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - How can somebody be mentioned in Sports Illustrated twice 3/21/2006 and 3/01/2005 (registration required for both), New York Times 4/18/2005 and numerous mentions in several West Coast newspapers be not notable?Dspserpico 08:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - perhaps the article should be on the blog then? Not the blogger? Wickethewok 08:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - but isn't a blog an extension of the blogger? Dspserpico 08:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment - if he is only notable for being associated with the blog, having an article about him serves no purpose if there was an article about the blog. Wickethewok 08:24, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
      • Comment - The problem is this, Bleszinski is one only two bona fide bloggers I know of who has had press credentials who are not also journalists. Is that notoriety associated with a blog, or notoriety associated with a person? Also, recent mentions on Sports Illustrated talk about person's actions as a blogger, not about the blog itself.

  • Weak Keep. Notability marginally established through articles about his blog. That said, there's probably only enough information for one article about the blog/blogger, and I'm not sure which should be the primary article name. Of course, that's a separate discussion. --Alan Au 08:26, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep notable journalist. ⇒ SWATJester Ready Aim Fire! 15:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
