Popehat (blog)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Notability requirements not met. Sources are not up to WP:RS standards. Two refs to the site itself, one to another blog, one to a Reddit comment, one to an attorney's self-published website. This leaves a single mention in an ABA Journal blog post as the most reliable source. This blog has simply not achieved sufficient notability for a stand-alone article yet.

Delete. If anyone even has a chance of notability here, it would be the author, since most the sources seem to relate more to him than his blog. The blog itself is clearly not covered to any significant degree. Ducknish (talk) 17:05, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as notable as any of the other law blogs listed in Wikipedia.216.15.112.245 (talk) 15:37, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, good deal of secondary sources, including for example ABA Journal, and Wisconsin Law Journal, and Minneapolis Star Tribune as well as books including Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties, and Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate. — Cirt (talk) 18:46, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. re the assertion above that one of the footnotes is "one reddit comment": No,it's not a Reddit comment, it's a Reddit "ask me anything" interview with 500+ questions and responses. TJIC (talk) 19:43, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources as mentioned by Cirt above. —Theopolisme (talk) 04:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
