Talk:Dan Barker - One of America's Leading Atheists

Notability and potential incentives?

• Alexa doesn't even list this blog in the Top 100,000 for Reach, Rank or Pageviews for any date range I tried.
• The blog has zero followers as of right now.
• The comment RSS feed shows that this blog apparently has eight comments in total even though the blog was created quite a while ago.
• Various other blogs which "Mariano" either owns or contributes to have their own articles - all created by sysop Conservative.
• CP's "Atheism" and the slightly more obscure "Atheism Quotes" articles just happen to be the #1 and #2 webroll links. Both articles are owned by the same sysop who now (re-)created this article.

My questions to sysop Conservative: What are the notability guidelines for blogs? This blog for example seems to be a non-notable, no-traffic zone. And yet a you as a Conservapedia sysop created a dedicated article about it. And what is your reasoning why Conservapedia needs to list apparently each and every Mariano blog in a separate article? Wouldn't it make more sense to just create a single article about Mariano (assuming that he is notable) and cover all his blogs in there? --AlanS 22:18, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

The same can be said about all of the blogs mentioned. I agree that if we have to have these blogs (and I don't think we should), we should group them together into one large article. HelpJazz 23:04, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

I think these articles would be counted as advertising if a non-sysop had created them. Because that's essentially what they are: Encyclopedia articles about blogs that don't appear to be notable by any meaningful standard. The biggest claim to fame is "Atheism is Dead"'s endorsement by fellow blogger Denyse O'Leary. Unless there is some sort of reply or new development, I will nominate the bunch of them for deletion tomorrow. --AlanS 08:06, 25 October 2008 (EDT)
