I should have said, the blog itself or other writings by the 2 authors of the blog. ref. 3 is by Urban. Ref 4 is from the blog. Ref 5 is a reprint from Urban. Ref. 6 is to a paragraph that is another reprint from Urban. Ref 7 & 8 are a interview with Musk and Urban. DGG ( talk ) 05:38, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I'm not so familiar with blog notability guidelines, I had assumed the fact the content was syndicated to wider, more notable sources and that more notable sources had directly cited added to its defacto notability? Deku-shrub (talk) 15:13, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Posts on this website have been widely reprinted or referenced by other notable news media. This make it notable enough. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:24, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The website has been cited by articles written in the forbes, the atlantic, techninsider etc... Needs expansion on content and references.  A m i t  웃   02:40, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
