  • Speedy Keep. The article needs references, but it does make strong claims of notability. Also, no reason is given for deleting the article, nor is this AFD claimed by anyone. LastChanceToBe 22:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep Deadspin, his blog, is also up for deletion, but no reason given for either. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Peakdetector also nominated Gawker.com at the same time, the company over deadspin. I don't think that these three are serious nominations. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep famous guy famous website nuff said. Brent schneider 18:35 31 January 2007

  • Speedy keep Strong notability SUBWAYguy 23:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Not famous, not interesting... plus, if he wants a personal bio page he should create one on his site. Public Relations Nightmare 31 January 2007 — Public Relations Nightmare (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Speedy keep Comfortably meets WP:BIO with features in NYT and SI, and is the editor of a site that has similarly been the subject of multiple non-trivial articles in reliable sources. Ytny 00:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep It doesn't really matter if the person is famous or interesting to be on Wikipedia. You could delete most the articles on Wikipedia if this were to be true. And by simply looking at the edit history of the article in question, you will see it most likely not Mr. Leitch who made this page. BJ Humiston 00:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep and Close - ironically, kind of per nomination: no reason to delete. One is procedural - no valid reason given. Two, there is no reason to delete, as this, too, falls over itself proving notability and verifiability. Three, I'm calling WP:SNOW, and four, per my vote on Deadspin's AfD, I'm calling a bad faith nom per the nominator's talk page. --Dennisthe2 02:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - needs to be rewritten so it doesn't sound so much like a resume. Awartha 03:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well known author and creator of a very influential sports blog. I don't see why this is grounds for deletion especially with some of the other junk on Wikipedia.--Freepablo 05:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep - Editor of popular sports blog, Peakdetector gives no reason for putting article up for deletion. Should be a no-brainer. Texinian 05:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
