The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The consensus shows favor in simply keeping the article based on the notable reference found, not merging and redirecting to Education Week, being one of the proposed options. Non-administrative closure. Jamie^☆S93 21:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Eduwonkette[edit]

Delete nn blog Mayalld (talk) 13:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I put up the article because its a blog carried by the leading trade publication in the field (Education Week) that is making headlines often enough to be the subject of a feature-length profile in the New York sun. I typped {{Unreferenced}} instead of {{reflist}} so the references failed to show up and Mayalld 's apparent automatic function deleted it without reading the entry. I wrote to him to explain that the blog is notable, and to suggest that he read entries before deleting them. My mistake. Instead of reading the entry, he got ticked and put up this REMOVE notice. If you really want to debate the notability of this blog, fine, but please at least read the article in the New York Sun and google Eduwonkette. Trigger-happy deleters are one of the reasons why people get frustrated and cease to write on Wikipedia.Elan26 (talk) 13:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Elan[reply]

Comment I did NOT delete it, either by an automatic process or otherwise. I added a PROD to it, because I believed it to be non-notable. As the author contests the PROD, I've taken it to AfD. Mayalld (talk) 13:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - not a strong keep, but the blog/blogger is cited here and there, and has a full article in the New York Sun. - Bilby (talk) 13:42, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Redirect to Education Week. It's probably notable, but it would be better off as part of a larger article.--Michael White^T·C 14:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Education Week is fine with me. I am not, however, happy about the threats and bullying I am receiving from Mayllad.Elan26 (talk) 15:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)Elan26[reply]
- Comment You have been neither threatened nor bullied. You have been warned for making personal attacks following your comments in the AFD about my motivation, and the accusations that you placed on my talk page. Mayalld (talk) 15:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
