  • Keep. Notable category of blog and article gives context. Some of the most notable and well-read blogs have been called war blogs. 547,000 hits for warblog see [1]. Four replies in Google book search [2] and 10 original sources in Google Scholar [3] indicate that the phrase has gone well beyond the blogging community.

  • Keep Notable for its historical relevance. This is not the same as poker blog, it goes beyond a simple definition and list of blogs to describe the history and growth of a phenomenom that recieved attention in major news media during the build up to the Iraq war in 2002 and 2003. See the Current Relevance section in the article. Just because it's not as relevant now as it was 2 years ago, doesn't mean we should delete it. To the contrary it should be expanded and better documented as a part of a historic event. mennonot 09:57, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, and please note that the criteria listed at The War on Blogs are not the same criteria that most of Wikipedia would share. I suggest you limit your AfDs to ones that you think are the most reprehensible. Jacqui★ 15:32, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Informative article. Just because you don't agree with the contents doesn't mean its not encyclopaedic. Rhobite 20:18, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
